While I agree with your picks for best draft, I don't think KC and Buffalo had bad ones.

KC got a stud running back in Larry Johnson that will be a 3rd down back that will get playing time. In getting him, they traded down and have more picks tomorrow that will enhance their overall draft. Plus, they got a LB in the 2nd round that they needed.

Buffalo got McGahee...they need a solid RB. Willis will be that man. Their 2nd round pick was Chris Kelsay from Nebraska, who is an absolute stud that was projected in the late 1st and fell that far. Big time steal for the Bills.

Basically, the 2 best RBs available went to these teams, and they went late in round 1. There is never a sure thing at RB (see Terrell Davis, Edgerrin James, etc.), so an insurance back is a great pick for both teams.
