The Chiefs just had the first reach of this draft, selecting late-rising DE Tyson Jackson of LSU at number three.
This is third time in four years that the Chiefs have spent a first round pick on a defensive lineman, as Jackson joins Glenn Dorsey and Tamba Hali in that grouping. It is also the third straight year that KC has used its selection on a player from LSU (Dorsey and Dwayne Bowe).
I know that the Chiefs had an anemic pass rush last season, but I think this is too early for Jackson. I would have gone with Aaron Curry or maybe Michael Crabtree. Curry could be a 10-year starter on a defesne that needs playmakers right now. And Crabtree could team with Bowe to gove new QB Matt Cassel a great pair of targets to throw to.
