The Kansas City Chiefs are bringing in some middling grades for the 2017 NFL Draft after trading up for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs felt very strong about Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes. In fact, they loved his pro prospects so much that in order to move up 17 spots in the first round, they packaged two first round picks and a third round pick in 2017 in a trade with the Buffalo Bills. Given that Mahomes is not a finished product and even the fact that Alex Smith remains entrenched as the starting quarterback, NFL Draft analysts are giving the Chiefs decidedly mixed grades when it comes to the overall haul of rookies.

Pete Prisco of CBS Sports gives the Chiefs a B- and writes:

This is a draft that will be all about Mahomes, but we won’t know that answer until years in the future.

Dan Kadar of SB Nation gave the Chiefs an even worse grade with a C:

The Chiefs are another team where the grade was determined on whether the grader liked the dramatic move up for Patrick Mahomes in the first round. The selection of running back Kareem Hunt was a favorite of most.

Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald matched Kadar’s grade of a C:

Alex Smith is signed until 2019. So they gave up a lot for a quarterback who wouldn’t seem to be in their immediate plans. Mahomes might be a gunslinger like Brett Favre, but he might also be a bust. Beyond that, Villanova DE Tanoh Kpassagnon is an intriguing prospect.

Doug Farrar of Bleacher Report was a bit more kind, giving the Chiefs a B:

Trading up with the Bills to take Mahomes puts some pressure on that pick, but NFL teams are more willing to redshirt QBs, and Mahomes will probably need that.

Let’s all just agree that grades this early are dumb.
