The team with the best draft in this past years draft was the Kansas City Chiefs. They did the best job addressing all their immediate needs with their picks.
They got arguably the best defensive player in the draft in Glenn Dorsey, then they follow that up by filling a huge hole in their line in Branden Albert

The rest of their draft:
Brandon Flowers
Jamaal Charles
Brad Cottam
DaJuan Morgan
Will Franklin
Brandon Carr
Barry Richardson
Kevin Robinson
Brian Johnson
Michael Merritt

Dorsey falling to the Chiefs was fortunate, as he comes to the Chiefs following a very decorated college career

Albert was the guy the Chiefs coveted at the start of the draft, and he will most likely start immediately. Seeing as the Chiefs had one of the worst lines in the league last year, he can't start soon enough

Flowers is a 2 time all-american corner who will probably start on dime packages, but will slide into the starting corners spot in a few years

Charles comes from Texas, and is lightning quick and was a steal at pick #73. He will be a great backup for LJ, and with LJ's injury issues, picking Charles here was no-brainer.

So their first 4 picks were outstanding, rest of their draft next

Dallas had an OK draft picking up Jones and Jenkins, however, their draft falls off significantly after those picks

Felix Jones wasnt even the best RB on his team last year.The only bright side is that he's used to splitting time at RB which he will be doing if he hopes to be on the field. Mendenhall was available, and being a Steelers fan, I'm glad the 'boys passed on him

1 of the biggest needs for Dallas wasn't even addressed with this draft: a wide receiver.

With Owens and Glenn over 30, the Cowboys needed to draft a speedy WR for when Glenn moves on. As none were drafted, the Cowboys lose an entire year of grooming a replacement. No WR were taken in the first round, so plenty were available for them to trade up a few picks in the second.

They used their 25th pick to draft Jenkins, but they also have Pacman (excuse me Adam) Jones and Terrence Newman. So it looksl ike Jenkins won't be starting this year, and will have to move into a dime corner role

The 'boys also drafted no one on the OL, another need

Finally, it must be noted, not 1 of their draft picks will be penciled in as a starter come week 1, while at least 2 of the Chiefs picks will be starting (Dorsey and Albert

Sorry to see you missed your turn.... I'll play fair and just offer only a line or 2 more:

KC's receiving corps are weak at best after Bowe, so 4th rounder William Franklin should get a lot of PT and contribute right away.

5th Round pick Brandon Carr should step into the Nickle corner role right away.

So KC had the much better draft at filling their needs than Dallas did
