Chiefs rank in top tier of best 2021 NFL draft classes

On Tuedsay, CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson published his ranking of the best drafts turned in by NFL teams over the weekend. In his eyes, two of the teams the Kansas City Chiefs will be watching closely this season — the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Baltimore Ravens — had poor drafts; he ranked them 29th and 31st. Meanwhile, he ranked the division rival Denver Broncos third — but placed the Chiefs in the top tier.

8. Kansas City Chiefs

Round 2 (58) Nick Bolton • LB • Missouri
Round 2 (63) Creed Humphrey • C • Oklahoma
Round 4 (144) Joshua Kaindoh • DE • Florida State
Round 5 (162) Noah Gray • TE • Duke
Round 5 (181) Cornell Powell • WR • Clemson
Round 6 (226) Trey Smith • G • Tennessee

Favorite pick: Clemson WR Cornell Powell had just one year of production but he took full advantage of the opportunity.
