With the NFL Draft now behind us, many analysts and experts are handing out their grades for each team's selections, and when it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs, many are glowing in their endorsement.
But not everyone.
Granted, picking the best and worst selections right now is a pure guessing game, as we have no idea how the rookies will translate to the NFL.
But for CBS Sports' Josh Edwards, in naming the Chiefs' worst draft pick, with a B- grade, he's gone receiver Cyrus Allen.
"Kansas City will be Allen's fourth team in as many years," Edwards wrote. "The transition to a new environment will not be daunting for him. Being with Patrick Mahomes is a good spot if you want to outperform your draft spot."

Allen a chance to make roster?
Well, as Edwards laid out, Allen is in a good spot in Kansas City, given he has Andy Reid as his offensive play-caller and Patrick Mahomes as his quarterback.
Anytime you have those two, you are always going to be in with a good chance at outperforming your draft spot.
But it's not a given that he will.
With Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton as the top three weapons, along with Jalen Royals, Allen will have a tough time making his way up the depth chart. But as a rotational piece? He could make that move.
We are still a long way from roster projections, but Allen could be in the best environment possible to kickstart his NFL career.
