Alex Magee
SELECTED BY: Chiefs Round 3 (3)
SI Grade
3.81
Position: Class:
Senior
School: Conference: Ht., Wt.:
6-2.5, 298
40 Time:
5.07

BIOGRAPHY: Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing sporadic action with the first team during his freshman and sophomore campaign. Senior totals included 28/6/3.5 after 38/4.5 as a junior.

POSITIVES: Explosive one-gap penetrator who makes plays in all directions of the field. Bends his knees, plays with good lean, and rarely off his feet. Moves well about the field, fluid out to the flanks, or explosive up the field. Effectively diagnoses the action, holds his ground against blocks, and focused on by opponents. Works hard to get involved in the action.

NEGATIVES: Lacks bulk on the inside, and is slow getting off blocks once engaged. Marginally productive in college.

ANALYSIS: Magee is an athletic one-gap defensive lineman with starting potential in the NFL. After a slow season last year, he stood out during Senior Bowl week, and then looked good at the combine. He should only improve as he physically matures, and early in his NFL career produce as a rotational lineman.

PROJECTION: Second Round
