Beyond that, Pioli's history indicates that he does not value skilled players in the first three rounds (Maroney aside - who's a failure). Pioli is far more likely to draft offensive line, defensive line or linebacker.
Not receiver.

D-line you are right about, but Pioli is not "far more likely" to draft offensive line in the first round. He's only drafted 1 in the 1st round, out of 10 picks and only drafted 1 in each of the 2nd & 3rd rounds. That's not to say there isn't a first time for everything.
He has drafted 1 LB, in the first two rounds, during his time in NE & KC and drafted 1 in the 3rd round.
As far as not valuing "skilled players"; He's drafted 3 WR's in the second; Chad Jackson, Bethel Johnson & Deion Branch and two TE's in the 1st and one in the 3rd.
