Grading The Draft and Other Offseason Moves

Now is the most boring time for the average NFL fan. The Draft is now over and now only a few weeks of mini camp between the three month layoff until training camp. Now lets talk about the most entertaining draft ever.

First I would like to thank Scott Pioli for making the correct move and drafting Eric Berry instead of Russell Okung.

Eric Berry vs. Alabama from Alo Draft on Vimeo.

Eric Berry Great pick and the best player on the defensive side of the ball in this draft. He can literally do everything in the secondary and will likely play alot of the time in the box where coincidentally he had his best season at Tennesee when playing the Strong Safety position.


Dexter McCluster At first I hated this pick but now I love the pick. It shows the creativity that Scott Pioli lacked last offseason. McCluster can do a plethorea of things. Alot of comparisons to Wes Welker or DeSean Jackson, more so comparable to Dave Meggett who played a large role on the Giants teams of the 80's.


Javier Arenas This was a horrible pick. Arenas is short and lacks break away speed. He won't be a very good CB in the NFL just watch the BCS title game Jordan Shipley owned Arenas.


Jon Asamoah Great pick. A very phyiscal player who could be a leader will help the guard position and hopefully take over for Brian Waters who play has declined the last few years.


Tony Moeaki Another pick I don't really like however I must admit I didn't know Moeaki was a projected third round pick. Pioli has traded four picks for two tight ends. Moeakis biggest flaw is he can't stay healthy. Compared to Owen Daniels lets hope i'm wrong.


Kendrick Lewis Meh pick. Ran a 4.8 at the combine. Will be a bit of a project. I would have preferred signing a free agent like Matt O'Hanlon who would contribute on special teams.


Cameron Sheffield I like this pick the Chiefs needed to address the OLB position and Troy has produced some good NFL talent.


Draft Grade
I Grade this draft a C. Reason being there are a few too many misses especially the Javier Arenas pick. Could have raded up for Clausen and had a franchise QB.


Undrafted Free Agents

To be honest I don't like any of the undrafted free agent signings. Dexter Mccluster benches more than the D tackle Pioli signed. I would have liked to seen Matt O'Hanlon and Freddie Barnes signed.


Free Agents

John Henderson will be in town on Wensday. Henderson would be a great signing the Chiefs gave up 144 rushing yards per game last year. Another free agent the Chiefs should sign is Adalius Thomas who can play a varitey of positions and would provide another pass rusher which is sorely needed on this team.
