Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B-.

It is a puzzling start. The Chiefs had tight end, quarterback and other spots to solve and reached instead for Jalon Kilgore, a cornerback, at pick No. 109.

The Bernard value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Virgil reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 9 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick29 Rnd1 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in pick 29 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick40 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They jumped the gun on Lee Hunter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalon Kilgore at cornerback with tight end, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
A big swing on Reggie Virgil at slot 148, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in Round 5, Pick 36 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at the 177th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at pick No. 210 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Fair-plus on Jadon Canady, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
