To be totally fair you need to do an analysis for all of the NFL teams for that year. What you will find is that there were some good players taken in the draft (as you pointed out next to the picks you felt were losers) as well as bad players taken, and that is across the board.
The draft couldn't have been that bad, it netted the Chiefs a 13-3 season. The coaching was the lynch pin in the failure that year (and every year that Shottenheimer was at the helm). His mode was very agressive in the regular season, but very conservative in the playoffs. That cost us the whole time he was there. The one time the Chiefs got to the AFC Championship the driving force was Joe Montana (which led to the "Let Joe do it" attitude.)
Basically I'm saying that your report is biased and unfair. I understand your point of view, but you are attacking CP because he drafted and traded for players resulting in a 13-3 record. What's up with that?

You're coming in a little late. I've been doing summaries like this for each of Peterson's seasons with the Chiefs, and it just turns out that I'm up to 1995 this week. The 1994 summary was posted about two weeks ago.
I've already gone through the whole "biased and unfair" complaint with other planeteers during previous summaries. If you feel like going back to the start and reading all the summaries, the 1989 season was posted on 10/26/04. If you choose to go back and look, you'll see I'm not criticizing the '95 draft by itself, but rather Peterson's collection of 16 drafts taken as a whole.
