SportsBeat KC: Grading the Chiefs’ 2020 draft. Was this year’s haul honor-roll good?
The Chiefs’ draft haul of six players was widely appreciated by national critics, with most grading it in the B to C range. That’s fine. Unlike nearly every other team in the NFL, the Chiefs weren’t drafting to fill an immediate need with 20 of 22 starters returning from their Super Bowl-championship squad.
Still, they made some intriguing selections, and perhaps some immediate contributors. On this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, beat writer Herbie Teope breaks down the six draft selections, from top pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire to seventh-rounder “BoPete” Keyes, and how each might fit into the Chiefs’ quest to repeat as NFL champion.
