We asked Kansas City Chiefs fans what they thought of each and every one of the team’s draft picks and these are their answers.

The approval polls are in on the immediate takes from Chiefs fans concerning Kansas City’s rookie class from the 2017 NFL Draft. It’s very clear that most fans are excited about the team’s move up in the draft to grab Patrick Mahomes from Texas Tech. After that, it’s a decidedly undecided group, which is fitting considering that many fans aren’t familiar with Villanova football, in the case of the team’s second round pick Tanoh Kpassagnon, or other players out of Georgia Southern or even Toledo.

Here’s a quick take on what Chiefs fans thought of each pick and how they voted to approve or disapprove of John Dorsey’s moves on draft weekend.

Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech (Round 1)

Tanoh Kpassagnon, DE, Villanova (Round 2)

Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo (Round 3)

Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan (Round 4)

Ukeme Eligwe, LB, Georgia Southern (Round 5)

Leon McQuay III, S, USC (Round 6)
