The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up their 2017 NFL Draft over the weekend and welcomed six new draft selections to Chiefs Kingdom. How did these six Chiefs players grade out with KC Kingdom?

Most of Chiefs Kingdom would probably agree with me that when it came to the 2017 NFL Draft, no one really cared what happened once the Chiefs had grabbed Patrick Mahomes in the first round. It’s not that fans weren’t excited about the other picks, but the Chiefs finally did the unthinkable and drafted a quarterback in round one. A lot of us had never seen that happen.

While this draft will ultimately be graded on the future of Mahomes in the NFL, a lot of analysts appear to be all over the place when it comes to drafting the overall draft for the Chiefs. I’ll give my overall grade at the end of the article, but I thought it’d be the perfect time to grade each individual pick.

These grades were based on a variety of things. Did the Chiefs have a need at the position? Was the player thought highly of heading into the draft? Could the pick have been spent on another position that Kansas City needed more?

Let’s start off the grades with the flashiest name in the Chiefs’ draft.
