» Round 1: (No. 10 overall) Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech.

» Round 2: (59) Tanoh Kpassagnon, DE, Villanova.

» Round 3: (86) Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo.

» Round 4: (139) Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan.

» Round 5: (183) Ukeme Eligwe, LB, Georgia Southern.

» Round 6: (218) Leon McQuay III, S, USC.





For me, the final grade will hinge on what kind of results they can get out of Eligwe, their fifth-round linebacker out of Georgia Southern. The Chiefs are planning to start two linebackers who were drafted 11-plus years ago (Derrick Johnson, chosen in 2005, and Tamba Hali, chosen in 2006) and need to inject some youth back into their front seven. Obviously, this draft was all about Mahomes, which may end up being one of the best picks of the Andy Reid-John Dorsey era. Personally, I feel like veteran QB Alex Smith will continue to be an above-average starter for the duration of his contract (he has two years remaining) and that Smith's limitations are not the main issue with the Chiefs as a whole. However, Reid cannot be questioned in a scenario where he had an opportunity to strike for a quarterback who reminds him of the great Brett Favre. A definitive grade is years away, but for now, we'll give the Chiefs a B+ for aggression and conviction on both sides of the ball.
