The Chiefs vs Consensus Boards: 2022-2025

How well do the Chiefs' drafts stack up against the Consensus big boards over the past four seasons?

If you have followed me during a draft season on Twitter (I’m not there anymore) or BlueSky, or if you’re in the KCSN Discord, or if you have read my draft articles over the past three years, you probably know that I am a big proponent of the Consensus Board. I love it. I think it is the best tool we, the fans, have available to us regarding the quality of the players available, and their relationship in terms of skill to each other.

I want to be very, very clear that it is not infallible. At no point am I saying that. At no point will I ever say that. It is not true. It gets things wrong. It will absolutely lead you astray at times. This is true of every single draft tool known to mankind. The consensus boards are not immune to this.

Both PFF and OverTheCap did studies on Arif Hasan’s consensus boards and found that, outside of QBs, the consensus board performs as well as the average NFL team. QB’s tend to be weird on these rankings, and are either wildly valuable if they see the field, even if they are bad, or they simply never see the field, and have zero value. That means that half of all NFL teams perform worse than the consensus board.
