The Chiefs have had the worst impact of their draft choices in the NFL.

I think the mid-70s to late-80s era might have something to say about that.

Go from 1975-1989 There are some years where there was practically no new contribution made to the team, some years 1-3 players that could be considered future help. Even in the '88 and '89 draft when Smith and DT were drafted the rest of the draft was crap. 1984 was good with Mass, Alt and Porter, but geez in these years the draft was 12-17 fricking rounds.

Yeah, Spani, Maas, Hackett, Burress, Okoye, Alt, Cherry, Barbaro, Lewis, Ross, Stillman, Delaney, Paige, Carson and so on we're horrible acquisitions.

Yep. That was covered in one of the last chapters in the Lamar Hunt book I just finished. Not a pretty time for the Chiefs at all.
