[Comment From RON]I NYC CHIEFS FANS. I THINK THE CHIEFS HAD A TERRIBLE DRAFT NO POTENTIAL STAR PLAYERS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE THE THIRD PICK IN THE DRAFT. WHAT DO YOU SEE THE CHIEFS DOING NOW AND CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF THEIR LATE ROUND PLAYERS
Scott Wright: Well, I don't know that there were many "star" players in this draft. Matthew Stafford is the only prospect who I gave my "Elite" grade to.
As for Kansas City taking Tyson Jackson, it wasn't a flashy pick but for teams stacking a draft board for a 3-4 defense he was by far the #1 DE and he was a legitimate Top 10-12 overall pick. Plus, remember that Scott Pioli helped build those great New England teams by taking Richard Seymour #6 overall and Ty Warren #13 overall.
The bottom line is that Jackson was a slight reach at #3 but not nearly as bad of a pick as some have made it out to be.
[Comment From Chris]
Do you think Josh McDaniles had a good draft, or did he just dig a deeper hole for himself?
Scott Wright: I think Josh McDaniels dug himself a much deeper hole. I have the Over / Under at two years for Josh in Denver. I promise you Jay Cutler will be enjoying success in Chicago long after Josh McDaniels have been fired by the Broncos.
[Comment From Scott Pioli]
Is it obvious that I had nothing to do with New Englands success yet? I am making som pretty stupid moves.
Scott Wright: I think Scott Pioli is doing an outstanding job in Kansas City so far and the Chiefs are going to be better than people think next year.

Can Matt Cassel make it in KC with only Dwayne Bowe to throw to?
Scott Wright: Well, Mark Bradley played well down the stretch last year and they also signed Bobby Engram.
[Comment From Stu, UK]
Who picks 1st Overall in 2010?
Scott Wright: Detroit, Oakland or Denver.
[Comment From Fred]
Where do you think Dorsey fits for the Chiefs? Think he might get traded if he doesn't work out well in the 3-4? What could they get for him?
Scott Wright: I don't think Glenn Dorsey fits in a 3-4 at all... It will be interesting to see what they do with him.
[Comment From Georg (Germany)]
What new pair of coach and gm will do the best next season?
Scott Wright: I think the Chiefs are going to be better than expected next year. They could finish 2nd in the AFC West, ahead of Oakland and Denver.
