Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chiefs, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

They will need Eboigbe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They jumped the gun on Trey Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A reach on Cade Stover in pick 125; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 167th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tre Harris
They did well to land Tre Harris in pick No. 171, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in slot 187 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at Round 7, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
