While the Broncos may have surprised a hew people by drafting Von Miller with the 2nd overall pick, their division rivals weren't idle. Well except for the Raiders, who gave up their 1st round pick for Richard Seymour. The San Diego Chargers beefed up their Defensive Line and the Kansas City Chiefs did some maneuvering.
While he doesn't have an elite first step, Corey has enough to be a pass rush and penetrating run-stopper inside. He has quick feet and will use his strength to force his opponents to double-team him. A stout defender who plays with a strong base, Liuget's hustle and ability to stay low make him difficult to escape within or outside the pocket. His College Coaches said that he is a leader in the locker and meetings rooms.
Kansas City traded the 21st pick to the Cleveland Browns, who had already traded down from the 6th overall pick. Cleveland dealt the 27th and 70th picks to the Chiefs in order to choose Phil Taylor. Kansas City selected Wide Receiver Jonathan Baldwin out of Pittsburgh. At 6'4", 228 and running a 4.49 40-time, Baldwin is a big, fast Wideout that will complement Dwayne Bowe. Jonathan is a 20-year old that just completed his Junior year and chose to come out early.
All in all, it was a good first day of the 2011 Draft for the AFC West. The division improved a bit and it's still too early to tell whether any one team jumped ahead of anyone else...again, except the Raiders.
