I am still letting a lot of these sink in… and I will judge the picks more once they actually hit the field.
Keep in mind that Pioli has a pretty good draft history (particularly with defensive linemen in the first round) so don’t be too quick to judge.
The one word I think about when I see this draft is versatility.

Why I Trust Scott Pioli with Chiefs First Round Pick
I know there is a ton of debate with the Chiefs and what they should do with their first round draft pick. Some say the Chiefs should draft a pass rusher, other want to sure of up the offensive line for years to come, and don’t forgot about all of the people who have a man crush on Wake LB Aaron Curry.
I am not here to argue these points with you (not this time) because each opinion has a valid argument and we all the know that there is a reason the Chiefs are drafting at #3 overall, and that is because they have lots of needs. So I am here to say that I trust Scott Pioli.
I know that Scott Pioli is not solely responsible for the first round NFL draft success of the New England Patriots but he has been a big part of that success since the 2000 season. Also, while I don’t know this for a fact, Scott Pioli and Bill Belichick have been reported to agree on something like 95% of the players the Pats signed/drafted.
Here are the Patriots first round draft picks since 2000 (didn’t have a 1st round pick in 2000):

| 1 | 10 | Jerod Mayo | ILB | Tennessee |

To me the results of Pioli’s first round draft picks speak for themselves. So on draft day, no matter what happens I will trust that Pioli took the right player for team. You should try to do the same.
