The Kansas City Chiefs had a amazing NFL Draft. 

Before the draft even started, they traded Defensive End Jared Allen to the Minnesota Vikings for a first round pick and two third round picks.

I did not like this trade because Jared Allen is a elite DE and he could be the best in the league, but the Chiefs more than made up for his absence.

Herm Edwards said before the Draft that he want to get six starters out of it and he got it. 

With the fifth overall pick in the draft they selected DT Glenn Dorsey from LSU. I like that pick because last year they got destroyed on the inside run game and Dorsey will really help.

With the vikings first round pick they traded up two spots to get Bradon Albert OG from Virgina because they were last in the NFL is rushing and also was in the bottom five in sacks allowed.

The rest of the draft they selected Brandon Flowers CB from Virgina Tech, Jamal Charles RB from Texas, Brad Cottem TE from Tennessee and DaJaun Morgan SS from North Carolina State.

They also got some good reserves but those six will be in there starting line up.

I predict that the Chiefs will be 7-9 next season and just miss the playoffs.

    I agree that they had the best draft, but there is no way Jamal Charles and Brad Cottem will start over Larry Johnson and Tony Gonzalez. Its still not clear if DaJaun Margan will crack the starting lineup at Saftey, although he'll surely be in there in Nickle packages. I think the chiefs got one all pro (dorsey) one pro bowler (albert) and one stud starter (flowers). They rest of their draft is solid and iwll help to build a good team, but I think saying they have 6 starters from this draft is streatching it.

    I agree with you but Charles will be behind LJ but will help the run game alot. Cottem will block more then catch but he has the best TE ever to play the game as a mentor. I think that Morgan will soon be a saftey the Chiefs will use alot. The Chiefs had the best draft hands down.
