With their 3rd Round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected G Jon Asamoah from the University of Illinois.
Asamoah (6’4″, 305) was a three-year starter for the Illini and was named to the Big Ten’s All-Conference team last season.
Asamoah has been a productive and mostly durable offensive lineman the past two seasons in college. He lacks great bulk but is a solid run blocker and could start for a system that does not ask him to cover a lot of area on the field.
Great Pick

i like the pick too. i just question where you are going to put all of these guards. albert plays tackle but was drafted as a guard. lilja, waters,and asamoah are guards. Waters may have to play tackle. I think you are going to have the o-line set up like this:
Albert(LT) Asamoah(LG) Weigmann(C) Lilja(RG) Waters(RT)
What do you think?????

Awesome pick! We just got the best guard in the draft. A nasty version of Will Shields who could solidify a guard spot for the next 10-12 years!
