Prisco: Re-grading 2007 draft: Three-year look back gives real picture
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/1...verlist_footer
Kansas City Chiefs: Grade: B- They had seven picks and all they have to show for their draft is one starter (receiver Dwayne Bowe) and backup running back Kolby Smith. That's not a good haul. Bowe, the first-round pick, has been a good player. But the Chiefs blew picks on defensive linemen in the second and third rounds; Turk McBride and Tank Tyler are now with other teams. Smith is a solid backup who has started, so he has some value as a fifth-round pick. But that's it. |

I feel really really bad for Smith. He had great promise.

No he didn't.
He wasn't a shifty runner, wasn't a powerful runner, didn't have good vision and didn't have home-run speed. He's not a great receiver out of the backfield and he's just pretty average as a pass protector. I don't understand why anyone goes to bat for this guy. I've never seen anything to suggest he's more than a 3rd running back...if that.

I have a feeling next year, our 2008 draft will grade out to an A. And the 2009 draft will grade out to a C-.

Jackson will NEVER be Harvin, Maclin, Cushing, Matthews, Crabtree or even Oher in terms of impact. NEVER. And for that reason alone, they deserve an F-. |

I think Jackson has the upside to be a decent 5-technique. But he'll never be Richard Seymour. And that was the only way you could justify picking that high for him. |

I think you will be proven wrong. #1) I don't think Cassel will be considered since he wasn't a draft pick.
#2) I think the Chiefs will have a solid starter in Tyson Jackson, a good rotational guy in Alex McGee, and a decent backup TE. And, of course, a kicker that's very, very good. I imagine most grade that draft a B when we are three years out..... especially if the defense improves. To be clear, I personally don't think that you should get a 'decent' starter at #3. However, the draft is a crap shoot regardless of the pick #. So, if TJ turns out to be a solid 10 year starter, then most would call it a 'good' pick. I would call it a 'passing grade' pick..... but fans are a little more jaded. |

But Herm was a draft genious!
Some will still try to defend Tank and Turk. |
