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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Fabien Lovett, 122 picks early at pick No. 206.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They banked enough surplus on Walker to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 28 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Devontez Walker at pick No. 60 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 91st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
They took Cody Schrader at par in Round 5, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 171 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 175 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in No. 206 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
