There's nothing wrong with grading the draft this early - hell, we're all doing it too. Process team needs, the player taken, where he was taken and generate an opinion. It appears that most of you guys would give us an A to A-.
Pretty much everything I've seen gives the Chiefs anywhere from a B to a C-. A lot of that variance is based on the fact we didn't fill many needs, and that many of the players we picked have had serious medical question marks. You can't blame people for being concerned.
There's certainly some talent in this KC draft class, but there's a helluva lot of question marks as well. Hope they stay healthy so we can see some of that talent.

That would be right, if true. I'd give the draft a B+ because of medical concerns and because I don't 100% agree with Dorsey's board.
But that's not what people are grading on. The big critique is that we didn't draft for need. And that is a ludicrous argument. Drafting for BPA is a smart strategy, not one people should criticize. Now if people want to argue we didn't always take the BPA... that's fair. But that's not what people are saying. The critics would have been perfectly happy with a wide receiver or safety, even if that player had an average ceiling or wasn't BPA.
