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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 23 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 2, Pick 13. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Mesidor proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In No. 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They will replay Kenyon Sadiq at pick 45 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nicholas Singleton well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
They reached into another round for Akheem Mesidor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
They did well to land Nic Anderson in slot 153, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison in the 176th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
