JUNIOR SIAVII Position: DT
Class: Sr
School: Oregon
Conference: Pac-10
Ht., Wt.: 6'4½, 344
40 Time: 5.22
Grade: 3.51

Selected by Kansas City Chiefs
Round 2, pick 4 (36 overall) BIO: Broke out as a senior posting career numbers of 43/6/2 after seeing limited action as a junior and collecting only 15 tackles. Graduated from high school in ?96 and will be 25 years old next November. Jailed in the middle of January on charges of assaulting a woman.

POSITIVES: Athletic inside thumper who may have finally arrived last season. Plays with leverage, drives up the field and bull rushes opponents off the ball. Has a thick lower body and clogs the middle. Hard-working yet smart and always gives top effort.

NEGATIVES: Stiff and best in a straight line. Needs to incorporate more moves into his repertoire.

ANALYSIS: Siavii really came on as a senior and answered many of the questions scouts had about him. Turned himself into a legitimate prospect and will now garner late-round consideration.

PROJECTION: Mid Fourth Round
 
Nothing wrong with covering our bases.

Why did KC let go of their 2nd rounder??
 
I guess Remi is stinking it up if they are looking at another DT right now.

I think we're looking for another big body to hold down the middle. Both Remi and Ratliff have pretty average size.
 
Got this off Wikapedia.

"Saousoalii Poe Siavii, Jr. (born November 14, 1978 in Pago Pago, American Samoa) is an American football defensive tackle drafted as fourth overall pick in the second round by the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2004 season. Due to a knee injury that prevented preseason workouts and disappointing performances in previous seasons, he was cut before the 2006 season."

guy has already played 2 seasons ....... did he even play last year?
 
I like covering our bases, but it looks as if Jerry is getting dangerously close to selling out our behavior policies in order to sign players...

So, Americans are supposed to know how to pronouce Polynesian names. I got a name for you, it is Dutch - can you pronounce it?

If you can it will be the first person in my life that has pronounced it correctly ( Lachniet)

good teams look at players and get sense of who is available before a need arises.

Well, dude, I am an American and I can do it. When a guy is an athlete and TELLS people how to pronounce it and they still get it wrong, yeah, it irritates me. Keanu Reeves told people how to pronounce his name and they seem to get it right. I don't hear anyone calling him KEE-new. (Actually, half the people still get it wrong. It's pronounced KEH-ah-new, not KEY-ah-new.)

As for the Dutch thing, if you told me the rules for Dutch pronunciation I bet I would get it right. Polynesians pronounce each vowel sound and two vowels next to each other makes a repeating sound. i.e., 'aa' is AH-ah, 'uu' is OOO-oo, 'ii' is EEE-eee, etc.

It looks French. French would be LOSH-nee-ay.
