The Chiefs picked 8 players last April and only one of them was what I would call a good player (Ryan Succop) based on how the players looked as rookies.  DE Tyson Jackson (1st round, #3 overall) out of LSU was supposed to help the pass rush of the Chiefs in 2009 but he didn’t.  Jackson played in all 16 games for the Chiefs last season and he made 38 tackles and defensed 2 passes but had zero sacks.  DT Alex Magee (3rd round, #67 overall) out of Purdue played a lot without doing much.  He played in 15 games in which he made 8 tackles and he had 2 sacks.  The Chiefs selected CB Donald Washington in the 4th round (#102 overall) out of Ohio State.  He played in 8 games and he made a whopping 5 tackles last season.  OT Colin Brown was selected in the 5th round (#139 overall) out of Missouri and he spent his rookie season on the Injured Reserve List.  WR Quinten Lawrence (6th round, #175 overall) out of McNeese State showed some potential.  Lawrence played in 6 games for the Chiefs last season and he carried the ball 2 times for 42 yards (21.0 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 9 yards.  Lawrence also returned 16 kickoffs for 317 yards (19.8 avg) last season for the Chiefs.  RB Javarris Williams (7th round, #212 overall) out of Tennessee State played in 4 games for the Chiefs last season and he carried the ball 6 times for 6 yards (1.0 ypc).  WR Jake O’Connell (7th round, #237 overall) out of Miami (Ohio) played in 4 games for the Chiefs last season and he caught 2 passes for 7 yards (3.5 avg).  Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL Draft was kicker Ryan Succop (7th round, #256 overall) out of South Carlina.  All he did last season was play in all 16 games for the Chiefs in which he nailed 25 of 29 field goals (86.2%) and all 29 of his extra point attempts good for 104 points.  Succop was the Chiefs’ best rookie last season and that is really saying something about how poor they drafted.

GRADE FOR 2009:  D-
