Kansas City Chiefs: B-
Pete Prisco: I'm not a big fan of taking running backs in the first round, but when you have Patrick Mahomes it's OK to take a running back like this in the first round. Reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew.
Fantasy impact
Dave Richard: What a fun surprise from Andy Reid to end the first round. Clyde Edwards-Helaire isn't the fastest guy in the draft, but he's a heck of a pass catcher with nifty feet and underrated physicality. His pass blocking needs work, but once that's done he'll get reps in passing situations, which will be frequently in Kansas City. There will be a lot of hype around him, making him a top-70 pick in PPR leagues. I figure he'll be at least 10 or 20 picks later in non-PPR. Look for him to get taken as a top-eight pick in rookie-only drafts.
