Some criticisms from my point of view:
Smith and Houston both need to be extended before Berry. We can't trot Houston out there for anything less than $7m next year (my estimation), and Smith will probably need to be around $10m. Berry's contract is unimportant compared to them, other than to clear some cap space -- which I know you're doing. But Smith and Houston will likely eat that capspace up. There's no way we'll have room for Tait or Hood, but one can dream...
We're going to have to hit a homerun in the draft if we want to be Super Bowl contenders, I'm afraid, as well as have Fisher, Kelce, and Commings all pan out.
As for your draft, pretty solid. My biggest criticism is with the idea of moving Berry to FS when he's played at an All Pro level at SS. That's akin to all the True Fans who've begged to move Albert inside from Day One.

The thing with Houston is that you aren't required to give him a new deal right now. He's not going to be making as less as everyone thinks he is. Under the CBA....all players drafted in the 3-7 round range are given an escalator if they reach certain playing time percentages. Houston has more than surpassed those percentages. So he'll end up getting anywhere from a $1.5 million to $2 million dollar escalator on his deal.
And moving Berry is in no way akin to moving Albert. The cries to move Albert were so we could draft another LT. I'm saying draft a SS and move Berry to better utilize his skills. Like I stated though...it's just what I would do. Not what I expect the Chiefs to do.
