Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Sadiq from sliding. Grade: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Chiefs shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The Chiefs indulged a want in Kilgore while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. The Coleman Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sadiq.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 12th pick they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They will replay Kenyon Sadiq at pick 43 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
No edge and no loss on Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 2, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Value with a capital V on A.J. Haulcy in slot 74, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalon Kilgore at safety with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
A reach for Jude Bowry in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
