Surtain, Battle and the guy we got from Denver are the only CBs on the roster aren't they? I did a backflip the day we cut Dex and EW, but even those two would be better than Julian Battle and a 5th round draft pick.
I was slightly skeptical about using the first round pick on a DE, and from what I've read there were some more highly rated DEs available there, but I tend to default to Herm Edwards and Gunther Cunningham on a question of defensive strategy so I let that slide. If Herm thinks he's good in pads, despite poor combine performances, I trust him. What bothered me was the S. Sure he's a hard-hitter, but we already have pro-bowl safeties in Sammy Knight, Greg Wesley and Jerome Woods. I also wouldn't have been upset with Santonio Holmes at that pick instead of the DE, but obviously we need some serious defensive help.
I wanted the Chiefs to draft a QB, possibly even in the first round if someone like Cutler fell that far. Green has at most two good years left and if he gets injured at some point we are SCREWED. Croyle seems to be a skilled guy, but his injury history was concerning to me. We''ll see, obviously they believe he's healthy and I have no reason not to believe his injuries are behind him.
I was glad to see we got another WR that was long on skill and short on attitude. He can join Snoop Minnis and Sly Morris on the practice squad.
All in all, Carl Peterson continues to amaze me on draft day. The best thing we got out of this draft may have been Herm Edwards.
