This draft (like most others) will have minimal impact on the totality of the football team Pioli is trying to build. We may (with the emphasis on "may") have acquired 2 or 3 players who will be contributing to the Chiefs 3 years from now. Odds are we added less than 10 percent to our starting squad in 2011. Of course, other than perhaps the Bengals, the same can be said about every other franchise's draft. Still, the Chiefs have a proven legacy of crappy drafts. Surely, Pioli can do no worse than we've done over the last 2 decades.
Of interest to me is whether or not Pioli selected players that meet his "criteria" (big, strong, fast, and smart). I know we got a couple of big guys. We'll find out about the rest as they develop. Meanwhile, of greater concern to me is whether or not peeps like Cassel, Dorsey, Bowe, DJ, and several other Chiefs who have the potential to be successful, impact players bring it over the next few years. Also, we'd better get damn busy finding some offensive linemen somewhere. Like the famous, old Belgium proverb says, "A one-legged chicken walks darn funny and it seems like it takes one forever to cross the yard."
