Chiefs Draft Notes

• In 12 picks, the Chiefs picked three Brandons, a Brian, a Brad, and a Barry.
• Only two offensive linemen were picked in this Chiefs' draft, though it was an area of urgent need. Both draftees are solid linemen though.
  
• The Chiefs drafted the tallest tight end available, 6' 8" Brad Cottam.
  
• The Chiefs may have drafted the best player overall (Glenn Dorsey), the best interior lineman (Brandon Alberts), and one of the best cornerbacks (Brandon Flowers). All three of these guys could be pro-bowlers.
  
• The Chiefs only have five players remaining from the six draft classes of 2000-2005. They currently have 12 of the 14 draftees from 2006 and 2007. Here's the update from January on those picks.
• The Chiefs drafted no Jayhawks and no Wildcats but they did draft a Mizzou Tiger, WR Will Franklin. Four Jayhawks, two Wildcats, and two Tigers were drafted. Notably, MU running back Tony Temple was not drafted (but signed with Cleveland). Washburn (Topeka) had a cornerback drafted in the seventh round by Tennessee.
  
• The Chiefs have picked up some rookie free agents, see the list here or here. This includes a quarterback and a kicker.
• Everyone loves the Chiefs' draft but no one will know for sure until about three years down the road.
