Hypothetical Chiefs Draft question:

[Frankie]

This is for the draft geeks on this BB. So I wasn't sure if I posted it in the right forum. But here goes:

If the Chiefs (or your team, non-Chiefs fans) were told to dump ALL their players and were allowed to have the first 53 picks of this draft, which 53 would you make up your roster with? And would you predict they would be Super Bowl bound in 2 years?

[Rain Man]

Let's take a look at the top 53 players from some past draft, and see how it would work out. I'll take the top 53 from, oh, 1995, that would fill out a roster. (In other words, I won't take the 4th QB or 2nd K if he's in the top 53 - I'll skip him and keep moving.)

What do you think? My first reaction is that this wouldn't have been a Super Bowl team. However, the more I look at it, the more I think that it would've been a pretty strong team.
