I thought the Chiefs should, and would, take Raji at the time, and I still think that would have been the better choice, but the over reaction on this board has been absolutely ridiculous.
The top 10 picks that year were:
Stafford
Smith
Jackson
Curry
Sanchez
Smith
Heyward-Bey
Monroe
Raji
Crabtree
When you look at that group and compare, the Jackson pick starts looking pretty good.

Not really....looks like he's in the same group of "crap" players that didn't live up to their draft potential.
