Balto 723 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Kansas City Chiefs: Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson The Chiefs need secondary and linebacker help, but they're getting the best player available with this selection. Andy Reid loves to take second chances on players, so I think this makes sense. Dexter Lawrence is a monster of a defensive tackle (6-5, 340) and is exceptional at both stuffing the run and pressuring the quarterback. He has fallen in this mock draft because of his positive drug test. Thoughts on on him as either our new NT or Bailey replacement? Will he really drop this far? Would love him in the 1st and a wr/LB in 2nds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Looooooove him. Probably my top choice at 29. Him or Adderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 A pick line this makes sense but I’m going to always be leary about oversized DTs from Clemson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Jones 6'5" 300 Lawrence 6'5" 340 Speaks 6'3" 290 Thursday would be a nice front 3 if we stay 3-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Jerry Tillery at 6'5" 300 wouldn't be bad either. Let nandi play the NT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 He's a pure 0 guy and I think he can do the role well. Took on a lot of the shitty assignments so his teammates could make plays. I have a feeling he'll come off the board before the Chiefs are up.

Palangi 788 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't think he is a pure 0. He has played the shade and 2 tech in college too. And he has enough movement skills to play a 3 tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefensiveMan 758 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Regardless Veach really needs to nail this 1st rounder. We've literally gotten nothing from our last two 2nd round picks so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,210 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd like Lawrence but it's not likely he will last that long and the Chiefs can't afford to move up with all the other needs they have. Several mocks have him going to the Chiefs but unless he has a history of problems, some other team will grab him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Not sure if this is a realistic target. If he falls to #29 I would definitely grab him but I doubt teams will pass on him for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Nnadi but our dline got really pushed around and needs an attitude. Watching Inside the NFL Andy was really on those guys early saying "you have to find another gear." Ray Lewis said the line was very undisciplined in AFC Title game too. I've heard Chris Jones free lances a lot which doesn't help in running game. We need a coach who can take care of that.

kkuenn 3,613 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Nnadi did better as the year went on. Get him attacking more and another off season to get stronger etc and we may have found a good one in the 3rd again. A lot of times it takes them 3 years but he did get a lot of playing time which can only help him and the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see his film I don't think, "gosh he's fast." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Huh, did I say "gosh he is fast"? You have a real issue with being strawman. You create issues that aren't the. I agree he fits better as a shade or 0 tech. But he does have a good burst to play 3tech if needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an effective 3 has a speed element, hence the comment. There isn't anything about his film that makes me think he has quickness. He's just a really stout, powerful guy which is why I said he's ideal for 0 because finding one is rare and he ticks all the boxes. You disagreed because reasons? That post didn't say the only position he could play at all would be lined up right over the Center. That post said he fits the profile of a high end one and that's where his value is highest. Could he be a 2? Sure, but I think you'd like for him to drop 20-40 pounds first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a late pick but that's it, tough to trust a huge guy that needed PEDs to compete at the college level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
