I don't know...
Von Miller is as good a pass rusher as there has been in the draft in recent years.
Pat Peterson is regarded as one of the best cornerback prospects ever. (And it's a very good and deep cornerback class.)
AJ Green and Julio Jones are elite level receivers.
The defensive ends and defensive tackles are incredibly deep and extremely good.
The guard class, led by Pouncey, Hudson and Wisniewski is deep and talented.
The five top offensive tackles (Solder, Costanzo, Carimi, Smith, Sherrod) are all very solid, experienced players with a high floor.
You've also got huge boom/bust guys in the quarterbacks with Newton, Gabbert, Locker and Mallet all being mentioned as having huge potential.
The nose tackle class is pretty nice as well.
The running backs, safeties and tight ends are relatively weak. However, the Chiefs have those positions covered.
The Chiefs, with the 21st pick can upgrade either offensive tackle spot, either defensive end position, the nose tackle, or add a solid receiver. They are going to have some nice options with that pick that will immediately benefit the team at a core position.
I think it's a pretty nice draft overall.
