The Chiefs signed third round pick, defensive end Alex Magee and sixth round wide receiver Quinten Lawrence. The Chiefs’ top pick, defensive end Tyson Jackson is unsigned along with fourth round pick cornerback Donald Washington.
Magee, who played his college ball at Purdue, recorded 28 tackles (14 solo), 6.0 tackles for loss, a career-high 3.5 sacks (-18.0 yards), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery while starting 11 games and playing in all 12 games last season for the Boilermakers.
Lawrence, played in just four games for McNeese State before suffering a leg injury. He pulled in 12 catches last year. In 2007, as a junior he had a productive year, starting all 12 games and finishing with 31 receptions for 645 yards (20.8 avg.) and six TDs to earn second-team All-Southland Conference accolades.
As the Chiefs make their way up to River Falls, Wisconsin, two of the Chiefs top four picks have yet to sign on the dotted line. DE Jackson was the Chiefs third straight first round pick that came from LSU making Jackson the highest drafted Tiger ever taken from the defensive side. Washington, from Ohio State, is considered a candidate for nickel and dime packages this season with the Chiefs.
