Overall, I’m satisfied with the 2015 Chiefs draft class. For me, a draft class is defined by what you get with your picks in the first three rounds. In that regard I was happy with three of the four players that KC landed in that range. I’m hopeful that Mitch Morse will prove my doubts wrong, but other than his selection, I felt like the Chiefs did well in landing Marcus Peters, Chris Conley, and Steven Nelson. Their fourth-round pick Ramik Wilson was a solid, if not spectacular, pick who could challenge to play right away. While a couple of their late-round picks were unimpressive, they did land two guys in James O’Shaughnessy and Rakeem Nunez-Roches that I thought were great selections.

In terms of filling holes on the roster, the Chiefs did a good job of adding solid players at positions of need. However, as someone that wanted the Chiefs to add some starting competition across the offensive line, I was disappointed that they didn’t add an offensive tackle who could compete with Donald Stephenson and Jeff Allen on the right side.

While I can’t give this draft class an initial grade of an “A” due to Marcus Peters’ character flaws and what I see as reaches in the Morse and Alexander picks, this is still a good draft class with picks I’m excited about throughout the class.

Overall Draft Grade: B
