My completely premature assessment of Herm's drafting with the Chiefs.

[Direckshun]

A

FS Jarrad Page -- Solid, but not great, safety. Nonetheless, Herm's best 7th.
WR Dwayne Bowe -- Has the tools to be a Pro Bowler. Needs a QB.
CB Brandon Flowers -- Has been everything the Chiefs hoped he'd be so far.

B

SS Bernard Pollard -- People hate on Pollard, but he's played solidly. No major complaints.
DT Tank Tyler -- People hate on Tank, too, but he's still raw. I see a good deal of promise.
OT Herb Taylor -- May become an A if he gets a legit shot at RT. Herm's best 6th.
DT Glenn Dorsey -- Done a fairly good job this year as an adjusting DT. Hopes are still high.
OT Branden Albert -- About all you can ask from a guard-turned-LT.
TE Brad Cottam -- Lots of promise to be Gonzo's heir.
CB Brandon Carr -- Don't know if he's starter material yet, but this kid's incredibly promising. Great 5th.

C

DE Tamba Hali -- When you spend a 1st on a DE, you expect way more. That said, he's a natural LDE.
RB Kolby Smith -- Looked great his rookie year, looks unsure this year.
RB Jamaal Charles -- We've seen too little to actually know.
SS DaJuan Morgan -- I like what I've seen on special teams. This guy could be good.
OT Barry Richardson -- We've seen too little to actually know.

D

QB Brodie Croyle -- Freakishly fragile, not too bright, and couldn't beat Huard to start in 2007.
WR Jeff Webb -- Had an okay couple years, but simply doesn't exist anymore. Standard 6th.
DL Turk McBride -- Has had every chance to make an impact on this team, has taken none.
TE Michael Allan -- The Chiefs dumped this guy but I thought the ability could have been there.
WR William Franklin -- His injury might have set him back, but he has just been invisible.
DE Brian Johnston -- Standard 7th, hasn't done much but has shown great motor.

F

CB Marcus Maxey -- A never-was who looked awful every game he played.
OG Tre Stallings -- Will Shields' trainee never took off anywhere but River Falls.
K Justin Medlock -- Perhaps the worst draft pick of the Herm Edwards era.

WTF?

KR/PR Kevin Robinson -- Who drafts a kick returner with a broken leg?
TE Michael Merritt -- Seems like a wasted pick, but he SHOULD get a chance.
