2nd round: OG/C Rodney Hudson- A. Dude appears to be rocking it, even if it's still at guard and not center. I have no problems with just taking good players especially if we need them at certain positions.

3rd round: OLB Justin Houston- B+. Great value when he was taken. I think we all knew he'd take some time getting used to the pro game

3rd round: DE Allen Bailey- B+. Country Strong had a great game against Pittsburgh. It looks like he can be the future for us on the defensive line if we don't re-sign Dorsey. I almost kinda sorta hope we don't now. Bailey is growing into his role

4th round: CB Jalil Brown- D. I was lukewarm about Brown on draft day, and now I'm thinking this was a terrible pick. We already had enough try-hard-do-it-on-special-teams defensive backs on the team and didn't need another one. He has a low ceiling and will probably never be more than a 3rd corner for us.

5th round: QB Ricky Stanzi- A. I loved this pick now and I still do. Too bad Haley hated it.

5th round: OLB Gabe Miller- C-. I should give this one an incomplete. It was a wtf pick when it happened, but he was doing alright in training camp before he got injured. No clue what will happen to him. From what I hear, we were using him on the inside, which is a place where he could excel for us.

6th round: NT Jerrell Powe- C-. In the same boat as Stanzi. He's apparently got a future with this team, but the coaching staff treats him like chopped liver. If/when Gregg finally dies with his dinosaur friends, we're going to be stuck with an unknown. Not ready to hand the keys over to someone like that, we'll draft a NT and Powe will struggle to get playing time of any sort for the rest of his short career. Unfortunate to see that kind of potential go to waste

7th round: FB Shane Bannon- F-. ****ing stupid pick.

?????????????? Baldwin was as you said "This pick was the lone bright spot of Pioli's GM tenure in KC."

What about Berry? Is he not at the caliber of Baldwin? Or did you just forget about him? That comment was a head scratcher along with giving Stanzi who had yet to suit up before two weeks ago and has yet to play an "A"

I mean the entire trade down. Getting Justin Houston AND Jon Baldwin for one 1st round pick was great ****ing GMing.

I've said here all along that Pioli doesn't get credit for the Berry pick. Eric Berry was a no ****ing brainer. He was the consensus best player available for the Chiefs. The fans, media, and draftniks all agreed.

The only more obvious pick would be if the Chiefs had the #1 overall this year and chose Andrew Luck.
