Some quick thoughts on the newest Chiefs ...

No. 26 Jonathan Baldwin, Wide Receiver, Pittsburgh
I thought this was a great pick for moving down. I know some fans wanted an offensive tackle but Baldwin fits a need for the Chiefs. You can expect teams to put eight men in the box to stop Jamaal Charles. With one-on-one coverage on the outside, the Chiefs wanted to add another weapon to compliment Dwayne Bowe. Let's not forget the Chris Chambers only had 22 catches last season as the Chiefs No. 2 receiver.

No. 55 Rodney Hudson, Center, Florida State
The interior of the Chiefs offensive line is old and it's time for a change. Last season you saw the Chiefs take Jon Asamoah to fill their offensive guard spot of the future. Hudson should fill their center spot of the present. If Branden Albert finally hits his potential, then the Chiefs could have a dominating offensive line for years to come.

No. 70 Justin Houston, Linebacker, Georgia
The Chiefs took Houston in the third round but he easily could have gone in the first round. If it wasn’t for a failed drug test at the combine, the Chiefs might have considered him with the No. 26 pick. The truth is the Chiefs needed another pass rusher outside of Tamba Hali. I believe Houston is a steal in the third round even with his stretchy past.

No. 86 Allen Bailey, Defensive End, Miami (Fla.)
Bailey could be a sleeper pick for the Chiefs. His athleticism and versatility could be beneficial to the Chiefs 3-4 defense. Some fans might have been in favor of a offensive tackle here, but I trust that he will be another weapon for Romeo Crennel's defense.

No. 118 Jalil Brown, Cornerback, Colorado
The league's wide receivers are getting bigger and faster every year so it’s smart to add more depth at the position. It's also nice that Brown is a big physical corner that has played against quality competition in college. Remember Dez Bryant, last season's first-round pick of the Cowboys out of Oklahoma State?

No. 135 Ricky Stanzi, Quarterback, Iowa
Brodie Croyles' time is up in Kansas City and the team needs some to develop. Enter Ricky Stanzi, a former college teammate of Chiefs tight end Tony Moeaki. I think this is a wise decision for the Chiefs front office. He is a pro-style quarterback that has faced quality competition.

No. 140 Gabe Miller, Outside Linebacker, Oregon State
He should will provide depth at the position and should make an impact on special teams.

No. 199 Jerrell Powe, Defensive Tackle, Ole Miss
This is a value pick. He was teammate of Dexter McCluster and Kendrick Lewis at Ole Miss. Some scouts had him Powe graded out as high as the second-round pick but most probably had him in the third or fourth. Luckily for the Chiefs he slipped all the way down to the sixth. A lot of defensive linemen went early so maybe this is how he became available for the Chiefs.

No. 223 Shane Bannon, Running Back, Yale
The Chiefs worked him out for a reason. He fills a need and can blow up some people.

Final Thoughts: I thought the Chiefs really went after needs and talent. Some may question why they didn’t address the offensive tackle position. This could be because they like Barry Richardson or they plan to address this position when/if free agent begins. The Chiefs also took some talented players with checkered pasts. I don't believe it's a big deal for the team. They built a strong foundation last season by drafting team captains and quality character players. So after a bad 2009 draft and a great 2010 draft, Scott Pioli looks to have continued in a positive direction.
