Marcus Peters - A. Top 10 player taken at 18. Good value. Only real risk is that he beats Alex Smith to a pulp in a moment of rage on the sideline when Smith checks down on 3rd and 9.

Mitch Morse - D. Apparently KC tried to trade up. The pick felt like a reach. I thought, "well, I guess I understand the pick if they kick him inside to RG", then they announced he would compete at center. Really? Only a handful of games a few years back at the position and his snapping was atrocious. Doesn't appear to be the upgrade the team desperately needed on OL. I don't like the idea of rookies competing at multiple positions on the OL, especially with C involved. If they move him to RG or RT, I'd grade it as a B. As a center his college highlights looked really bad.

Chris Conley B-. Seems a little like a panic move after the run on receivers in round 2. This is the type of pick Chief fans made fun of Al Davis for years ago. Workout warrior with limited impact in actual games. Seems like a boom or bust type player. A move KC had to make since they've been so damn picky with WR's the last two years. Hopefully he plays toward his ceiling and KC will have a big fast #2 WR. Hasn't happened since Kennison.

Steve Nelson - B. My first impression was "another CB? Did I nap and miss a few picks where we grabbed an ILB? The kid from TCU is still on the board right?" Then, I saw clips of him playing like the old Mighty Mouse. I understand the pick. KC had trouble with QB's like Manning who get rid of the ball in 3 seconds or less. Can't get to the QB that quickly. The only way around it is to mug and hit the receivers on the line. It looks like Nelson will be able to do that to buy some time for the pass rush.

Rest of the picks - I could complain that they should have taken some different receivers or been mavericks and grabbed Collins at some point. I mean, Dorsey doesn't exactly put character high on the shelf. But, at the end of the day you are lucky to get any impact from the day three guys, so who really cares. It's a dart toss.
