**Trivers** · 04-29-2017, 04:00 PM

After 3 days, the 2017 NFL Draft is history.

What is your grade and opinion of how the Chiefs did?

Predictions?

A complete SWAG at this point and it will take a couple of years to know for sure, but I gave it a B. I'm very happy they finally drafted a QB.

My feelings as well. Ecstatic they finally drafted a QB in Rd 1, but who knows how all this will pan out. I'm just kinda meh after rd 1 though.

Gave up quite a bit for Mahomes but the Kareem and Tanoh pick has me erect.

I have not heard that comparison. A more accurate description would be a ceiling somewhere between Matthew Stafford and Brett Favre. Quite a floor also, but that is closer to his ceiling.

I saw that comparison yesterday on another scout site grading all teams drafts and thought it was appropriate. Again, all QB draft picks are statistically long shots. Thats why teams may draft several well before finding a franchise QB keeper.

Give him a seam and he can definitely house it

Paid too much for Mahomes who is a project QB. 2nd round pick from Villanova might be a boom, might be a bust, another gamble by Dorsey. I like Kareem Hunt, solid pick. Chesson is a head scratcher pick as his college production Was spotty at best. Eligwe is another head scratcher as his college production sucks, the chiefs could've gotten him in the seventh round. McQuay was a nice pick up in the sixth round.

You are not allowed to have an honest opinion that isn't in the majority here, dude. Too many thin-skinned labias. So **** off, Alex/Donkey lover!

It's okay to not 100% agree, but it seems very hollow when it comes from an Alex Smith ball sucker.

They paid the right value to move up to 10 (no idea where overpaid comes from), but yeah it certainly is risky.

Yup.

This idiot is trying to compare what the Chiefs traded to what the Broncos did last year.

Quesadilla Joe Abolish The Salary Cap! Join Date: Mar 2008 Casino cash: $3918675	Kiper's grade for the Chiefs... Spoiler! Kansas City Chiefs: C+ Top needs: Running back, inside linebacker, quarterback As I said on Thursday night, this class will hinge on Patrick Mahomes because Kansas City bet big that he's the successor to Alex Smith. Giving up a third-round pick and next year's first to move up 17 spots was a ton for a team with immediate needs elsewhere and some defenders getting up there in age. Mahomes has a high ceiling, but he's going to have to learn how NFL offenses are run, and the Chiefs are going to have to rebuild his mechanics from the ground up. Andy Reid and John Dorsey know what they're getting (and know what they're doing) and see some Brett Favre in Mahomes. And they have a capable quarterback in Alex Smith signed until 2019. This is a pick -- and grade -- that could look like great or silly in five or six years. The good news for the Chiefs is they hope the first-round pick they're giving up in 2018 is in the 28-32 range. Tanoh Kpassagnon, a gigantic edge defender (6-foot-7, 289), is an intriguing, developmental prospect with upside, but there were better defenders available at that point in the second round. I thought he was more of a fourth-round pick. Kareem Hunt should help immediately alongside Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West. This is a kid who ran for more than 100 yards 28 times in his Toledo career. Needing to add some pass-catchers for Smith, all Kansas City came away with was Jehu Chesson, who underwhelmed in 2016 and was taken about 40 picks too high. It really all comes down to Mahomes. You'd prefer not to give up so much draft value for a quarterback who shouldn't be in the immediate plans. In this case, the Chiefs felt they had no choice http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/mel-kip...ry?id=47112467
