Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chiefs did exactly that with Theo Johnson in pick 175. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Sanders pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 31st overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
The board had Jonathon Brooks higher than pick 63, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: T.J. Sanders in No. 131, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
By-the-book stuff, Moose Muhammad III at slot 163 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tre Harris
They reached a country mile for Tre Harris at pick No. 171, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 175 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to the 209th pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A wild overpay on Sheridan Jones in pick No. 252, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
