Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
B

FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chiefs did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most.
They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In slot 9 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Colton Hood
A clean, defensible pick in Round 1, Pick 29 with a little surplus value in Colton Hood. A minor need, but a need all the same.
