Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Michael Wiley at pick No. 161. The Chiefs jumped the board by 29 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Barrett falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
They did well to land Keon Coleman in pick No. 31, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 74 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 94 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Javon Foster
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javon Foster in the 109th pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Nice patience on Ainias Smith, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 31. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in the 145th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Michael Wiley
They reached a country mile for Michael Wiley at the 161st overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nothing to complain about; Kitan Oladapo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They took Jordan Jefferson at par in No. 175, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Taking Michael Barrett in pick No. 209 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 32 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
