The dynasty is over. The Kansas City Chiefs, as we've known them for much of the past decade, are done.So they said.Maybe that iteration of the Chiefs is done, but the new version might be even better -- provided Patrick Mahomes comes back from his torn ACL as the same superstar.The reason is simple: The Chiefs just crushed the NFL Draft. In doing so, they earned the only A+ grade I am giving out. Let's just say I loved their draft.The Chiefs had to get better on defense. If Mahomes is banged up early and can't be the same Mahomes right out of the gate, the defense and the running game have to be good. They signed running back Kenneth Walker as a free agent to help the run game and then loaded up on defense in the draft.
With their first three picks, they landed the best cover corner in the draft in Mansoor Delane, a power defensive tackle in Peter Woods, a player I loved, and the captain of my "Better-Than Team" in Oklahoma edge R Mason Thomas.Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has to be one happy man. He is one of the best coordinators in the league, and getting these three guys will enhance his ability to call a defense. When Mahomes is Mahomes again is still up in the air, but the new-look defense can carry them early this season if he isn't quite all the way back. Then, look out.The Chiefs' dynasty is done? Maybe that old version. But 2.0 is going to push for Super Bowls once again, thanks to a great draft, the best of any team this year.
