When evaluating NFL Draft prospects for the Kansas City Chiefs, age is one of the hardest factors to weigh. Generally, getting younger players with potential outweighs acquiring older players who might be closer to their ceiling.
This is because younger players might be more able to adapt their physical frame to the NFL — and also because players often need multiple professional seasons to develop to their potential; by the time an older prospect gets there, he can already be well into (or even beyond) his physical prime.
I generally share these concerns about older prospects.
