Certainly don't hate it, but it's extremely uninspiring.

Not a huge fan of spending all these early picks on OL/DL.

It's this or Dexter McCluster.

Deal with it.

Kinda need another all purpose guy. Who is the best all purpose RB left?

I like Miller but that's big play ability talking, he's very similar to Felix Jones.

Yup. Everything right with the game right there.

Strangely enough I have never ever had a Chiefs jersey. Just wear different kinds of gear. Dunno why.

Price.

Positives:

Natural bender with outstanding recovery quickness, lateral agility and balance to mirror and sustain — is seldom on the ground or beaten in pass protection. Plays with a very solid base. Throws his hips in the hole and wins with quickness at the snap. Controls defenders with his hands. Is athletic running the field and can connect on the second level. Good football intelligence. Quick learner. Flipped sides and has proven he can play in a left- or right-hand stance. Versatility is a big plus — can play either tackle position and has the quickness to handle movement on the inside. Solid character. Very committed, dedicated approach — has not missed a practice or game. Is a tough, durable, hardworking four-year starter.
Negatives:

Does not look the part — is knock-kneed, fleshy-bodied and pear-shaped. Lacks ideal height and arm length for the outside. Not a nasty finisher or fiery run blocker. Not strong-handed or violent with his punch. Tends to set tall and catches a lot. Undisciplined eyes — late to see and adjust to some stunts. Conditioning has been a concern, and diet might require some additional monitoring.
Summary:

A model of consistency on and off the field, Allen makes the game look easy and is one of the best pure pass protectors in this year’s draft, with unique balance, coordination and agility to warrant late-first-round consideration as a left tackle prospect. Versatility, football smarts and durability could allow him to start immediately and play at a high level for the next 10 years.

We need depth at DE. We just have Bailey. Our draft is all about building depth this year.

Could use just about anything.

We're not exactly deep anywhere.

I would have figured Osemele as well but I'm very happy with Allen. Just didn't know Allen was a OG option so didn't think about him. Osemele just scared me due to being nixed up all the time, but would have still been good.

I really like our line. Too bad they block for a total turd

It was cool to see Will Shields make our selection. That was about the highlight so far of the entire draft. This is an ok pick am sure he should work out just fine. Hope with Will calling the pick gives him extra Mojo.

A safety!? F you Beli.

I think the Chiefs made some really nice moves -- Charles & Hillis - great duo
Boss & Moeaki -- excellent blockers -- Bowe & Breaston -- I'd rate them top 8-10...Winston was the best tackle out there - and you signed him.

I think some of the fans are too hard on Poe -- Have faith in Crennel. He's the teacher. In Memphis, Poe was playing a one thru nine technique.

NE reaches for a S. Do not like.
