We have had 29 draft picks.

8 Have been Defensive Linemen.

The facts: Of those 8, 6 were DTs. Of the 6 DTs, We spent our first picks on 3 of them (Downing, Sims, Siavii) The other three consisted of a 2nd round pick and 2 7th round picks. The 2 DEs were drafted in rounds 6 (Wilkerson) and 4 (Allen).

My thought: We have spent too many picks trying to find the DT we crave. 27% of our draft picks (or 50% of our top draft picks) have been Defensive Linemen. I'm not saying these picks were right or wrong, but investing so hevely in one position has hurt us as an overall team.

the Chiefs have also drafted the following
5 Linebackers
4 Running Backs
5 WR/TE
4 Offensive Linemen
3 Defensive Backs

The part of this that pisses me off is the drafting of 4 running backs, and only 3 DBs (2 of the DBs are safties).

Running backs were drafted using 4th round pick in 2001 (Layne), 5th in 01 (Blaylock), 4th in 02 (Easy), 1st in 03 (Johnson).

The only somewhat high draft pick used on a Cb was our 3rd in 2003 (Battle).

Excellent post... And just to pile on, isn't it just great knowing that of all those draft picks we've spend on D-linemen, We've only had 1 guy really appear to be good player? Allen.
