Round 2, #36 overall, DT Junior Siavii -- The Chiefs first pick in the '04 draft produced a total bust. Siavii was with the Chiefs from 2004-2005 but fell out of football until last month when the Cowboys signed him to a future/reserve free agent contract. Projected as a mid-fourth rounder by Sports Illustrated, I'm still not sure why the Chiefs took Siavii so high. He never started a game with the Chiefs. Workout Warrior perhaps? Grade: F

Round 2, #61 overall, TE Kris Wilson -- We're all intimately familiar with Kris Wilson around here. The weapon, the hybrid, the...well he can't really play any position that well. At least not how he's been utilized in KC. And that's being kind to Wilson. Good players turn losses into gains, stuffs into first downs and Wilson was unable to do any of those while he was here. So you can't blame the play calling for his ineffectiveness. The Chiefs had high hopes for Wilson and he hasn't done much more than play about average. His broken leg during preseason of his rookie may have gotten him off track for good. Wilson never found a rhythm in Kansas City. His contract is up this year and he'll be playing somewhere else next season. Grade: D+
Notables taken recently after this pick: TE Chris Cooley, WR Bernard Berrian
Round 3, #93 overall, LB Keyaron Fox -- With this pick, the Chiefs basically drafted a career backup linebacker. Fox has started four games in his career and last year rotated in and out as other linebacker's tired or were injured. He did not start a game in 2007. Solid backups are certainly needed but Fox's contributions to the Chiefs have been negligible, relative to his value as a third-round pick. Grade: C+

Round 4, #126 overall, DE Jared Allen -- Ironically enough, within one of the worst drafts in Chiefs history, you have one of the best picks in Chiefs history. Allen turned out to far and away be the best defensive end in the 2004 draft. A true diamond in the rough. Excellent work by the Chiefs brass. Grade: A+

Round 6, #195 overall, WR Jeris McIntyre -- Who? Exactly. McIntyre didn't make the Chiefs' squad in 2004 and has since bounced around NFL Europe and the CFL. Only a two-star recruit out of Auburn, he's never played a down in the NFL. Grade: D
Notables taken recently after this pick: WR Patrick Crayton
Round 7, #231 overall, T Kevin Sampson -- This offensive lineman hung around KC for a few years before becoming practice squad fodder for the Panthers and Redskins. A 7th round pick -- not much expected. Grade: D
Notables taken recently after this pick: None
Overall draft grade: D
