Thread: Around the League News/Rumor Thread

Chiefs leaning toward LSU's Jackson

I hear that OLB Aaron Curry might not be a lock in the top three and that the Chiefs might not have him targeted as their pick. The word around the league is the Chiefs are in love with DE Tyson Jackson of LSU and see him as another Richard Seymour type. Teams are worried (as I am) about Curry being a just a Sam Backer and not an effective blitzer. Curry is a fine football player, but it's hard to pay the high cost of a top-three pick if he can't rush the passer.

Raji Didn’t Test Positive

Well, SI.com perhaps will now officially retract its report regarding Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji.

Per a league source, Raji’s name did not appear on the list of players who tested positive for marijuana at the Scouting Combine.

Earlier this month, Tony Pauline of SI.com reported that Raji tested positive. After Raji and his agents denied it, SI.com pulled the story.

But SI.com didn’t retract the report. Eventually, SI.com issued the following statement: “We have investigated the claims of Mr. Raji’s agent and although we have several credible sources for the report we have decided to take it down while we continue reporting the story.”

Appearing on radio recently with Mike Dempsey of 1010XL in Jacksonville, Pauline declared: “I stand by what my sources told me.”

Well on the plus side at least that means that either Raji, Brown, or Maybin will fall to 12. Personally I think there is no way in hell KC picks Jackson #3 overall.

Pioli would have to be in love with him.
