I kind of like that they didn't allow a poor trade market to push them into taking someone like an OT instead of the guy they were targeting, even if they were a little high in the draft for him (according to conventional wisdom).

I would say a B. They didn't take the sexy pick, but they still took a position of value in the top 3 and put their stamp on the transition to the 3-4, with the top rated 5 technique DE. I really liked the comparison to Russell Maryland-hope he plays that well.

Considering the options were a LT we didn't need, an ILB we didn't need, a DE we needed but a reach or take it up the ass Cleveland style I think the Chiefs made the right pick. Sometimes you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit so I'll give them a B.
I'd probably give the Cassel/Vrabel trade a B as well. Solid first day overall with the potential to pull off a real good day 2. |

That's what happens when your turn in the draft doesn't match the best talent available, and you can't trade out. You risk reaching and possibly so. But what a payday for this LSU kid! Ch-ching!

Does that pipeline include Southern Belles and "Items of Questionable Legality?
If so, sign me up!
