What position are they going to target in the draft?

Jackson is an end in a 3-4 defence...tough to call him a bust yet. Ends in a 3-4 seldom put up much for stats. He was a reach of a pick, but I think Pioli got caught with a high pick that he couldn't sell, so he stuck to his core phillosophy of spend money on the lines for players who can fill those positions for a number of years.
Johnson and Glen Dorsey are pretty much misfits in a 3-4 defence. Johnson has athletic ability, maybe Romeo can make him work in the middle. Dorsey should be a tackle in a 4-3, not suited to play nose tackle in the NFL, and not really a great end.
Todd Haley seems to love Demarrio Williams...I think he's pretty average. Tamba Hali made the transition from end to rushing OLB pretty well for a guy that size.
Needs are numerous....nose tackle, safety, another outside line backer to rush the passer, another inside guy. Personally I'd rebuild the middle of that defence with a nose tackle and MLB, then get a safety. But the defence...they still need another draft after this one to fix it. The Chiefs first pick will be on an Offensive Tackle. Either Okung or Bulaga, and bet heavy on Bulaga.....I'm not crazy about it, but Pioli and Kirk Ferentz are buddies and he'll go for the Iowa player without hesitation.
