I would say that the draft is pretty average. We got a few players who play a lot. Nothing else. That's pretty average (and maybe a little higher if Svitek gets more playing time.)

The same goes if you are grading 6th round picks that do not make it. This draft was not a bad draft for the Chiefs. We got DJ and Colquitt, plus the trade for Surtain. Not great, but we did get two good pieces out of it. Now, if Svitek turns into a good player, it would be a decent draft. The problem with the Vermeil drafts is that we did not hit enough on later round picks.

He's such a hard hitter, and very athletic. I want him to be the face of our defense so much. Looking forward to this season!

It's something I've thought about in the past as well. However, the AFL is not the NFL, and the kickers may not be all they're cracked up to be. Case in point: Rob Bironas of the Tennessee Titans. The first game I ever watched him in, the comentators were talking about his AFL experience and the accuracy it requires. Next thing you know, he misses an extra point. Sort of killed that whole idea for me. However, if this Mark Lewis character is as good as you say, I'd welcome him with open arms. He has to be better than the options we have now. I knew getting rid of Lawrence Tynes was a hug mistake :( @ rob:
