The Chiefs offense should be watchable with Hillis, Boss, Wylie, Winston, Quinn.

Walton should remain the starter. He is a good center. Blake was brought in for depth

Looks like Cutler will be running for his life again next year after each snap on a passing down.

Although he should've gone in rounds 2-3, the Texans get a great value with Jared Crick at the end of the 4th.

Crick getting picked means Mercilus will likely take a lot of Brooks Reed's snaps at OLB this year... :(

Nonetheless, Houston is going to have a white defense again this year. Watt, Crick, Cody, Reed, Barwin, and Cushing all should see a bunch of time. Nading and Braman are going to be good backups.

The Vikings get another white player with FB Rhett Ellison from USC.

You beat me to that point. Round 4 is really the last "safe" round where you are a legit top pick. Rounds 5-7 are, for the most part, considered "the leftovers". Glad Crick was picked before Round 5.

Yep, the Mercilus pick was unnecessary. Ellison is listed as a TE on USC's site. I'm wondering how the Vike's will use him.

Yeah, gee, maybe they could've used that pick on somebody else, like somebody that they actually NEEDED.
The Raiders with a surprise pick, LB Miles Burris from San Diego St.

Wow. Mel Kiper just compared Jared Crick to every single white starter on Houston's defense. Said he played like JJ Watt, Shaun Cody, Brian Cushing, Brooks Reed, and Connor Barwin with that intensity he has.

The Texans just became that more dangerous on defense with Crick. If only they could get someone like Kelly Gregg at the nose tackle spot. The only White guy I know in this draft is Randy Colling from Gannon. Huge and athletic.

Yes, although a "surprise" (especially because of the Raiders taking him), it shouldn't have been.

His combine results were incredible including putting up 31 reps at 225 and a broad jump of over 10' with a vertical of 37.5"

He should've been a Round 2 or 3 pick. Can't remember now which afflete that put up 12 reps of 225 went in the first or second round. Total Affirmative Action. Geez.

Wow.. The Packers must really hate themselves for winning with all of those whiteys a couple of years ago. They're going back into full bore caste mode from what it seems.

Highlander, I think that would be the wonderful Sean Spence, the LB from the U. He was drafted by Tomlin's Merry Men.
