Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chiefs shredded theirs for Billy Bowman Jr.. He came off 95 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will answer for taking defensive back early while tight end, quarterback and other spots went begging. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots to take Cooper DeJean, a defensive back that was not the priority.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They liked Kiran Amegadjie enough to skip the value, taking him in the 94th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Guyton a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
The board had cheaper options than Kamal Hadden at pick 163, and it noticed. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick171 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in Round 5, Pick 35 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
They jumped the gun on Jordan Burch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to No. 209 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
They reached into another round for Billy Bowman Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
