Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Gabe Hall as overpay for him, 60 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hicks. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Taking Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 32 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in No. 95 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Circle this one: Jaden Hicks at pick No. 133 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A tidy little value on LaDarius Henderson in the 172nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
