Yahoo Sports grades the Chiefs Draft: A-

[Blindside58]

I have officially had to turn off sports talk radio and limit my web browsing due to pessimistic asshole fan opinions. From what I remember the Chiefs were in most of the games they lost and everyone blamed the losses on coaching and DE play. Well, We have new coaches and we drafted the best 3-4 DE available. We tried to draft down, but noone wanted our pick and the money it would tie up. We drafted a position that would earn the money paid if he turns out to be an all pro...unlike an all pro OLB. We did not need to pay a Rookie LT big money because we already have one and we can fill RT with a free agent pick-up or one of our youg O-lineman can step up and fill the void.

The reality is that we will not know for 3-5 years so all the bitching and bickering is senseless fodder. SO EVERYONE SHOULD SIT BACK AND WATCH!

Good post. Right as I was reading your post, Petro came on 810 and said that everyone keeps asking him what he thought of the draft. He said he has one answer: "Ask me in four years." That's about right. While this year's draft might not have the pop of last years draft action, I have a good feeling about the players selected. But again, only time will tell.
