Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Moore: B.

When a board-topper like Rod Moore slides to the Round 3 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.

Reaching for Stewart left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 14 they get a workhorse for the backfield at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Darrell Jackson Jr. at Round 2, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Max Klare
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Klare in the 76th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at slot 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick114 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They liked Bryce Lance enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in No. 153 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
Value said wait; Evan Stewart in the 176th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
