I understand the criticism of last year's draft. I disagree on some of the finer points, but it clearly wasn't a good draft.

After 4 preseason games, I don't understand the bashing of the Chiefs draft this year.

The first three picks all look like they will contribute great things in their first year.

McCluster has looked like a more versatile version of Wes Welker. He is a threat from the backfield, the slot and both of the return positions. So far, he is everything the Chiefs had hoped. I don't understand the criticism here. Given our QB's penchant for checking down.... this guy will be an integral part of the Chiefs passing game and a big time play maker.

Arenas has been electric in the return game. He is the same size as Flowers, only a little heavier. I can see him playing an awful lot in the nickel.

The Chiefs have lacked playmakers. These two are game changing types of players. I just don't understand the criticism. Especially, not now that they have shown it in the preseason.

Now, moving on.... Asamoah has looked like a solid third rounder.

We all know that the only concern about Moeaki is his ability to stay healthy. This was a gamble here... but, a first round talent for a third round pick seems to be worth the gamble. One could argue that the Chiefs don't have the option to gamble given their lack of good players. I would tend to agree. But, it is a gamble I would take on most teams. I won't bash them for it.

Kendrick Lewis has looked pretty good so far. He lacks speed, but he has good instincts, and I don't see a problem with this pick whatsoever.

I won't sit here and lobby for Sheffield, because I don't know enough about him and he hasn't stood out, yet.


But, overall, the 2010 draft looks good to me.
