As far as KC's draft:
1. Berry Great pick.

2. McCluster. I remember watching a few Ole Miss games this year and saying wow that guy is pretty good. Then when the combine rolled around and he was only 175lbs and didn't run that fast, I thought he'd slide a bit. IMO, and I know a lot of people will disagree, Oakland (I think) got better value taking Jacoby Ford in the 4th round. KC could have taken their undersized speedster/wildcat/returner in round 4, and used the 2a pick to address a bigger need. Personally, I'd have grabbed Tate - a full time receiver who can operate in an NFL offense. A guy that can run KCs system and make plays with the ball. Tate had one of the fastest 10 yard splits, so he can get off the line quickly - something Cassel needs.

3. Arenas. Seems too similar to McCluster. KC's D is atrocious up the gut and they are taking part-time players? You've got defensive players like Cody, Lee and Butler on the board and you are taking a nickel corner? I'm not sure opposing teams are going to face 3rd and long all that much.

4. Asamoah - I'd give it an A-. It gets a minus only because KC ignored other needs positions in round 2, that I still can't help but feel they should have gone front 7 defense. Good pick, but I'd like it better if other positions were drafted prior.

5. Moeaki - Giving up picks to move up in a deep TE class? Who was available in the 4th? - Campbell for RT, Jacoby Ford (if you didn't go McCluster at 2a), Pitta, Dillard, Gibson and Norwood. I'd much rather have Pitta, Dillard, Gibson or Norwood and the extra pick. I would have rather used the extra 5th to move up to the end of 4 to get two of the aforementioned players.

6. Lewis - Another DB? Thomas, Scott, Olsen and Tennant are on the board and KC is still taking special teamers? Hell take a chance on Hardy or LeFevour.

7. Sheffield - I like the pick. I'm from the camp that you always try to grab a pass rusher in every draft.
Good post.
