Draft Grade — Chiefs

Grand theft in pick No. 109: the Chiefs steal Branch and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Zachariah Branch had no business being available in the 109th pick, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In No. 9 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at Round 2, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in pick No. 74 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Zachariah Branch in pick 109, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Nothing to complain about; Gracen Halton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
The board fumbled Davison Igbinosun all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
