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

The Chiefs spent real capital to be 57 picks early on Miles Frazier, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while wide receiver, tight end and other spots went begging. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick 32 they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 28. Wide receiver, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 95th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
A surprising call. With wide receiver, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Kamal Hadden, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick161 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miles Frazier in Round 5, Pick 25, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 169 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid sticker price for Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 171, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick 175 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
By-the-book stuff, Kimani Vidal at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 249th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
