With the 3rd pick in the 2009 NFL Draft the Chiefs grab LSU DE Tyson Jackson (6' 5" 298 lbs). This is a bad pick, way to high for Jackson. There is no way they should have passed on LB Aaron Curry. Curry was rated higher and also fills a need. Jackson has been an under achiever.

Matt Stafford as a Detroit Lion

I still think it's not going to work out. I do think they're drafting a guy to redshirt, which is defintitely going to help matters. But I'm not going to say that it's a guaranteed success. In fact?
