Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Aaron Lewis as overpay for him, 38 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Paul that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 29. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in pick 92 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick No. 129 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 161st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
A reach on Rasheen Ali in No. 171; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
A conviction pick on Zakhari Franklin at the 207th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis at pick No. 250 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
