The Best Chiefs Draft Picks Of All-Time

The deadline for voting on your best Chiefs draft picks of all time has been extended through next Wednesday, March 31st.

The idea is this: the NFL is celebrating the 75th NFL Draft by asking fans to vote for the 75 best draft choices in league history.

We aren’t asking for 75 in the 50 years the Chiefs have been around.  Just the top 10 choices made by the Hunt Family franchise starting in 1960 and rolling through 2009.

For reference, check out this listing for a fairly good list of Chiefs draft choices over the years.

Make your choices one-through-10, with No. 1 being the best choice. Attach them to this post ur comments.

We already have about 40 selections for the top 10 covering over 30 names. So take a minute and cast your ballot.

    Did you forget Bobby Bell? Remember him, he could play every defensive down and deep snap.

    1. Derrick Thomas (because he is Derrick Thomas)
    2. Jared Allen (because he was a 4th rounder)

    10. Stephone Paige (because he was consistent)
    1,478,356. I don’t know
    Last. Todd Blackledge

    I would fill in more but I started watching in the late 80’s as a kid.

    Looking at that list of chiefs picks is sickening. I went down the past 20 years and its no wonder we have sucked so bad. I must say though – Herm Edwards 2008 draft was awesome. Maybe the best ever for a Chiefs class.

    Bob you made it tough for me. I’ve been a fan since the 60’s. My picks are going along with the Hunt family best draft picks. Not necessarily the best all time Chiefs players.

    1. Willie Lanier
    2. Bobby Bell
    3. Derrick Thomas
    4. Tony Gonzalez
    5. Gale Sayers
    6. Buck Buchanan
    7. Bob Lilly
    8. Will Shields
    9. Roger Staubach
    10.Otis Taylor

    Players who did’nt quite make my top 10…
    Jerrel Wilson, Albert Lewis, Christian Okoye & Tim Grunhard.

    (Gale Sayers and Staubach would have made the list but I don’t think either ever actually played for the Chiefs. Heck, I didn’t even know the Chiefs drafted those two until I read this post. Thanks Bob!

    Duane Bowe need’s to see the Eye doctor , the ball is comming at him and he can’t see it in the right place and level .
    When he reaches out to catch that’s different .
