2nd Round (via TEN)

DE. Miami. Joe Jackson . 2. player. 124.

Give this to Andy Reid. When he commits to change, he doesn’t hold back. Already Justin Houston is on his way out and word is the Chiefs are angling to trade Dee Ford as well. It’s clear their shift to a 4-3 defense under Steve Spagnuolo will not be at half-speed. Still, the loss of their two best edge rushers at the same time is going to be felt. Remember what happened in Oakland.

Kansas City has to make sure they invest at defensive end as quickly as possible. Joe Jackson played that position well at Miami. He has length, power, size, and more athleticism than you first believe. His upside is considerable. It’s a matter of teaching him how to use his gifts to their fullest. Something that Spagnuolo was hired to do.
