1997 rookie Kevin Lockett performed well early on and then dropped out of sight. TE - Tony Gonzalez, the Chiefs '97 pick improved tremendously in his '98 season although he had some trouble early on. OL - Not sure how we got it done again last season, but we did. Both Team awards came from this group. Victor Riley, the Chiefs first pick in the '98 Draft played so-so at LT and was moved RT where he found a home and should provide the Chiefs with many good years there.
Some depth is needed.
DT John Browning, a budding NFL star, was lost early to injury and Chester McGlockton never saw action untill the final few games of the season. DE Dan Williams held out, DE Derrick Thomas failed miserably in his new Falcon position and had a melt-down on MNF against the Donkeys. SLB Wayne Simmons was scapegoated in the MNF fiasco and released. MLB Donnie Edwards is not a prototypical run stuffing MLB, but he gets over trash and does a good job of slipping blocks. Some depth could be had here in the draft.
