Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D.

The phones were a trap the Chiefs kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The Gusta pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Davis pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and running back still on the board.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The McAlister value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 9 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young in Round 2, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Hill Jr. at the 40th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Max Klare
They took Max Klare at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Good price on Ja'Kobi Lane in slot 96, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tacario Davis at cornerback with quarterback and running back open.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in No. 146 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Anderson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Stroman in the 176th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick177 Rnd5 David Gusta
David Gusta in Round 5, Pick 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at pick 208 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
