The Chiefs selected DE Tyson Jackson with the #3 pick in the first round.  He will be a starter from Day #1 for the Chiefs but he’s a run stuffing end.  He is huge at 6′4″, 295 pounds but he’s fast for his size running a 4.9 40.  Jackson played in 53 games (40 starts) in his 4-year career at LSU and he made 122 tackles, 27 tackles for a loss, 18.5 sacks, batted down 18 balls, forced 2 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles.  While he might not get a ton of sacks, Jackson is a great run defender off the edge and that’s just what the doctor has ordered for the Chiefs’ defense.
