Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Chiefs lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Chiefs lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In No. 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Bell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Bell. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at pick 74 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jack Endries
No edge and no loss on Jack Endries in the 109th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The board had Ar'maj Reed-Adams higher than pick No. 146, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
A clean, defensible pick in the 167th overall pick with a little surplus value in Cyrus Allen. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery at slot 176 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Nothing to complain about; Rayshaun Benny went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
