By Pete Sweeney

The NFL Draft is fast approaching – now just two weeks from tomorrow. Soon, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach will hold his pre-draft press conference, which often gives us a strong sense of how he truly feels about the class as a whole.

Over the next couple of weeks – and especially after each draft night – national analysts will share their grades on the Chiefs’ selections.

In this newsletter, we’ll put those grades into perspective, using Chad Reuter’s “final quick-snap grades” from NFL.com for comparison.

The 2024 draft class: A (Reuter’s article)

Players: Texas WR Xavier Worthy (No. 28 overall) BYU OT Kingsley Suamataia (No. 63) TCU TE Jared Wiley (No. 131) Washington State DB Jaden Hicks (No. 133) Penn State OL Hunter Nourzad (No. 159) Tennessee DB Kamal Hadden (No. 211) Holy Cross OL C.J. Hanson (No. 248)

Worthy demonstrated why he deserved the “A” grade from Reuter, as did Hicks, who appears poised to start at safety in 2025 with the departure of Justin Reid. For now, the jury is still out on the rest of the class.

Suamataia struggled as an NFL offensive tackle, and so now we’ll see how he fares at left guard. Wiley showed some promise, but a torn ACL in an early November practice ended his season prematurely. The Chiefs like Nourzad, who may sneak his way into the left guard conversation as he backs up Creed Humphrey at center. Hadden now plays for the Green Bay Packers, and right now, Hanson probably projects as a 2025 practice-squad player.

Reuter praised Kansas City for not reaching on Suamataia, noting he could work into the lineup with improved footwork, but that never materialized. Still, I like the class overall. Worthy and Hicks should be important players for the team in Year 2. We’ll see what the future holds for Wiley, Nourzad and Hanson.

Re-graded 2024 class: B (for now)
