The only options here are Eric Berry and Bruce Campbell. Left tackle is a huge need because Scott Pioli must protect his $63 investment. However, there is some concern with Campbell's injury history, meaning teams drafting in the top 5-10 could shy away from him (think Eugene Monroe and his knee last year).
Eric Berry is the top-rated prospect in this class. Kansas City's secondary is a mess, and Berry is the type of playmaker they need to help stop the pass. If you click on Berry's name, you'll see that Matt McGuire has compared him to Ed Reed in his scouting report. Call me crazy, but the Chiefs could definitely use an Ed Reed on their roster.
#37 - Jason Fox, OT, Miami
In five games, Branden Albert has surrendered 4.5 sacks and has been whistled for four penalties. Pioli didn't draft Albert, and the Chiefs organization doesn't have that much money invested into him (about $3 million over the next four years). Scott Pioli can afford to draft a franchise left tackle and move Albert around in an effort to give Matt Cassel more time in the pocket. He needs to protect his investment - no matter how bad it may be.
#51 - Evan Royster, RB, Penn State
If belittling his head coach and calling everyone "pillowbiters" (a.k.a. guys who ride loud motorcycles) wasn't enough, Larry Johnson bragged to some Twitter user that he makes more money than him. That's true, Larry. Not all of us are cunning enough to steal millions from an organization.
Johnson is a joke and a terrible player. He should not be on an NFL roster at this point. Evan Royster is a talented runner who would be a nice complement to Jamaal Charles.
#69 - Marshawn Gilyard, WR/KR, Cincinnati
Matt Cassel isn't very good, but it doesn't help that outside of Dwayne Bowe, he has nothing to work with.

I would be alright with this draft but would prefer Sam Young or Ricky Sapp over Royster and would like to see Golden Tate drop past STL to the Chiefs ealry second. If that happened taking Eric Norwood over Gilyard would be a great start to the draft IMO.
