The CBS Sports columnist now gives Kansas City an A+ for 2022.

On Tuesday, CBS Sports writer Pete Prisco re-graded the 2022 NFL Draft. Back then, he thought the Kansas City Chiefs had made excellent choices in the draft. But now, he thinks they were even better.

Kansas City Chiefs
2022 Grade: A

The Skinny: They had 10 picks in this draft and all but one are still with the team heading into 2025, with five definite starters. They had two first-round picks, thanks to the Tyreek Hill trade with Miami, and landed corner Trent McDuffie...

Smith comes by his speed naturally, since he played as a...

McDuffie climbed to the fifth rank after being listed at No. 10 in last year’s showcase.
