cappy DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs

Draft Grade — Chiefs

The Chiefs won the night they stopped Slaughter from sliding. Grade: B. Call it larceny. Jake Slaughter sat on the board until the Round 3 slot, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Every board in the league had Price lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
David Bailey
In No. 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
A tight end of that caliber at the 43rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at slot 74 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in pick No. 112 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Michael Trigg
A quiet steal in the 150th overall pick: Michael Trigg for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177
Rnd5
Jaden Greathouse
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 38, with Jaden Greathouse worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
