Post-draft grade: B Summary: If you just base it on production from the rookie class, this would be considered a pretty disappointing draft. But there's more to it than that. The Chiefs' single greatest need going into the 2013 offseason was to fix the QB situation, and while Alex Smith isn't Joe Montana, it's pretty clear they got the best return from a QB that came via the price of a draft pick. The trade with the 49ers now looks pretty good, and Smith was solid if not spectacular, and aided a huge turnaround. After that? Well, there are questions. We knew Fisher faced a tough transition, and simply moving to the right side isn't some transitional cure. It showed. He was better late, but he didn't play to the level of a top pick. Davis could be good, but can he hang onto the ball? Cornerback Marcus Cooper counts with the rookie class, and while he flashed well, he also got exposed badly when he faced better QBs. The Chiefs got a QB, and that helps the grade, but we still need another season or two to see what else they got. New grade: B- I'll do all the ones you guys ask for. lol I think that is a very generous grade.

I think that is a very generous grade. He said that included Alex Smith for a 2nd, and Cooper for the 7th. I guess if you count Smith for the second that's fair. Still, if Fisher doesn't turn it around they can't do better than a C. Obviously he needs more than a season but the grade rides with the #1 pick. Nobody would respect the Colts class of '12 because of T.Y. and Brown if Luck had busted.

I'm still not a fan of paying just to hear a person's opinion when you can find just as good on the internet for free. I only think I'd maybe pay for a sight for in depth stat break downs like PFF, but even then they are some what inconsistent.
