B.

I hated the McDuffie pick for a few reasons.

1) Jermaine Johnson was there. He's the best pass rusher in the draft IMO and a legit top 10 type pick. Elite Pass rushers are harder to find than CBs, and you rarely have a chance to nab the best one.

2) Veach and the coaching staff have shown they don't need the best corners to have a good pass defense. Instead, they find diamonds with late-round picks or trades and make coach them up.

3) it forces you to make a less than desirable decision at 30...

I was not a fan of Karlaftis either. They could have drafted their DE at 21 and went Booth or Elam (probably would have been there) if they wanted CB, Daxton Hill/Pitrie if they wanted S, Logan Hall/Ebiketie/Mafe/Paschal Ojabo if they wanted to double up on DE, Watson/etc if they wanted WR or even traded back a few spots because there were takers allegedly.

I'm not a fan of Skyy Moore when they could have had Pickens or Pierce at 50 who I like a heckuva lot better. They still have a major hole at WR that they will need to fill in 23 (they need a #1). Moore to me is a nice complementary WR.

I'm not a fan of the Cook pick either, especially with Nik Bonitto going 2 picks later. The Chiefs still need a pure pass rusher and Bonitto is one of the best ones in the draft. Safety is a much easier position to fill in FA IMO and not a huge need and a slight reach.


I LOVE the Leo Chenal pick. There is no way he should have been there at 103. This pick accomplishes two things. 1, it provides them a legitimate stud at the SAM position and allows Gay to play the weak side, which he's a better fit IMO. The potential from blitz packages gets me excited. Also, this provides a backup to Bolten at MLB and maybe quietly a better prospect athletically at the position.

I like the Joshua Williams pick because this is what I look for in a typical veach/spags CB draft pick. He will likely become a good player in the Chiefs defense.

I love the Kinnard pick. He's going to be the RT at some point maybe even this season. Not sure how he fell this far but he's the best OT in the SEC with 3 elite seasons. Admittedly, I wanted Zyon McCollum CB with this pick.


I'm intrigued by Pacheco. We desperately need a home run hitter at RB.

So I gave it a B. It was a good draft but I would have just went a different direction with some picks. They know best so I hope I'm wrong about Karlaftis, Moore and the players I thought the Chiefs should have got instead.
