Overall, I think this was a solid draft for the Chiefs. I share my disappointments here with others for not drafting enough talent to address the front 7. But I don't want to get caught up in that misery of constantly thinking about it. Id like to shift my thoughts and focus more towards the overall team. Overall as a team I think the Chiefs definately improved. Im coming to accept the reality that not all of our holes are going to be addressed in one night. But the players they drafted are going to contribute and help this team in some form or fashion. Which is always a good thing.
I think the Chiefs just got a lot faster as a team, more mature by adding high charactered guys. And to top it off, the guys they've added have playmaking ability and we all know this team lacked playmakers from the very start. I like what they did in drafting guys out of the SEC. That's where good talent lies and it's just good to see them do something different from the past. Pioli seems to emphasize a lot on character which is great. Championship teams have tons of those guys and obviously we needed more. But it will benefit the team in a way where I thought they could use a change in culture there. Love the fact he hired Crennel and Weis, and some solid assistants to go along with that. We have a lot of guys on this team right now that have underachieved and not lived up to expectations yet. I think good coaching will be the cause for better player development. I consider that just as important as drafting.
*It's obvious Scott Pioli has a plan in place. It's a solid one and Im glad he is sticking with it.
