Chiefs Draft: Defense-Focused, Mahomes-Ready

0:00On April 26th, the NFL draft just wrapped, and the Kansas City Chiefs snagged the only A-plus grade across the board. They focused heavy on defense with their top picks, corner, man-sword delaying, defensive tackle Peter Woods, and edge-rusher R. Mason Thomas. Added running back Kenneth Walker in Free Agency 2, setting up a strong ground game while Patrick Mahomes recovers from that torn ACL. Earlier this week, analysts called the Chiefs Dynasty over, but this hall says otherwise. Defense of Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo now has elite tools to scheme with, potentially carrying the team early if Mahomes needs time. They traded up smartly in the first two rounds, turning needs into stars without reaching. Fans and pundits are buzzing about other standouts too. Dallas Cowboys earned an A for defensive overholes like safety Caleb Downs and Edge Malachi Lawrence. New York Jets and Miami Dolphins also hit a grades, loading up on first round talent, like Edge. David Bailey in Tackle-Keylon Proctor.
