Chiefs CP grades the Chiefs' draft

Pleasantly surprised to see many of my old friends still here...

I like the thought process behind this draft. I originally had a problem with the Stephenson pick, but it sounds like they want to replace Albert after this season. That's fine with me. Normally I'd like to see skill positions taken in the first few rounds, but Pioli/Crennel obviously think that Lilja, Albert, and our last few NT's have been undersized and pushed around too much. Bigger players will now be groomed to replace them.

I love the Menzie, Gray and Hemingway picks, and the Jerome Long pick reminds of the way the Steelers find their 3-4 DE's.

But Poe really needs to approach the level of Ngata, Wilfork, Hampton, Maas, and Saleaumua for this draft to get a good grade three years from now.

However, any draft that doesn't involve Carl Peterson with the Chiefs makes me happy.
