Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-.

The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Dwight McGlothern, 43 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Murphy II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 28th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A tidy bit of business in the 60th overall pick, where Byron Murphy II graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at pick No. 91. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 28. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josh Proctor this early at the Round 5 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in pick 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in the 175th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
Value said wait; Rondell Bothroyd in No. 249 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
