I believe that you can most fully judge a team's success in a particular draft from 3 years down the road.
What do you think of the Chiefs' work in 2004?
1st round -- nothin'
2nd round -- Siavii was a complete bust. Kris Wilson takes some of that sting away by finally fitting into this team as a versatile threat @ FB.
3rd round -- Keyaron Fox finally blossomed this year, proving that it takes three years to properly judge. He may or may not start someday, but he was a solid backup at OLB.
4th round -- The Chiefs got a starting WR for a couple years in Samie Parker, but he's ultimately backup material. Jared Allen was the crown jewel of the Chiefs' 2004 draft, a steal @ pick #126.
5th round -- nothin'
6th round -- WR Jeris McIntyre produced zippo for the Chiefs.
7th round -- Kevin Sampson was the 231st pick and he started a handful of games in 2006, showing some promise before injury. Played a lot better when the OLine solidified more. Pretty much all you can ask for from a 7th rounder.
===============================
Overall that looks like a pretty damn average draft. Plain vanilla.
Got a brilliant pick in Jared Allen, got a horrendous pick in Junior Siavii.
Got a couple backup quality players, got an overachiever in the 7th, and Bigfoot finally unearthed himself as a strong contributor that you'd expect from a 2nd round pick.
