Mitchell, S. Fujita) in his time as the chiefs head coach.  That isn't good drafting.  I concede that Herm’s drafts are still up for debate, but Vermiel’s are not, whatever braintrust was responsible for the drafts during his five years was aweful.  Carl Peterson deserves some of that ire, but not because he called the shots, its that he allowed too many horrible choices.  In 38 picks 9 or 10 are backups somewhere, Larry Johnson was CP’s pick, Jared Allen was drafted to be a long snapper, and Derrick Johnson was a gimmie at 15.  So Vermiel succesfully chose a good maybe great punter (colquitt) and two starting LB (K.
