For a position that's supposed to yield a few successful finds in the later rounds, at least as backups, that's not a very good list. Jordan Black is the most successful guy we've drafted.

Granted, we have Brian Waters to be thankful for, but even then we didn't pick him up after the draft. He was around for awhile with Dallas if I remember correctly before coming to KC.

I don't know if Taylor or Richardson will work out, but those other guys are dogshit. Albert is our lineman since John Tait to be drafted in the first 3 rounds. I'd like to see us pull the trigger again by either trading down in the first or finding some guys in the 2nd or 3rd round.

I'm not a Pioli is all that guy but the Pats line was built in the middle rounds.
