2013 NFL Draft

With the overwhelming success of the 2012 draft class which produced 5 starting Quarterbacks, two of the best five Half Backs in the league, and countless other impact players.  So the Chiefs, who have the first overall pick in the 2013 draft, should not be worried, or should they.  The projected pick for the Chiefs is Star Lotulelei, a Defensive Tackle.  I do not care how good he is, a Defensive Tackle can not take a bad team into the playoffs like Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Russell Wilson did last year.   The Chiefs could branch out and pick a Quarterback, but there are only two Quarterbacks that look like they could play in the NFL at all.  These Quarterbacks are Geno Smith and Matt Barkley.  Smith is more of a scrambling Quarterback whose game might not transfer into the NFL.  Barkley on the other hand, was a huge prospect and was being compared to Steve Young and Tom Brady, until his dismal 2012 season which knocked him out of the top 32 prospects.  The top 32 draft prospects consist of seventeen linemen and eight Linebackers and Defensive Backs.  The highest ranked skill position player is Geno Smith at 23.  The highest ranked Running Back is Eddie Lacy at 30, the highest Wide Receiver is Cordarrelle Patterson at 25.  It looks as if the bad teams will stay bad until the 2014 draft.
