Draft Grade — Chiefs

The Chiefs fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chiefs would have aced it. Amaris Williams at the 146th overall pick is 40 spots clear of where he belonged.
That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Trevor Goosby
In pick No. 29 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Trey'Dez Green
Trey'Dez Green slipping to No. 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40
Rnd2
KJ Bolden
Steal is underselling it; KJ Bolden at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
They barely believed it either: A'Mauri Washington still on the board at the 74th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Raylen Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Raylen Wilson at slot 93. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104
Rnd4
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at Round 4, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Devin McCuin
By-the-book stuff, Devin McCuin at Round 4, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146
Rnd5
Amaris Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Amaris Williams. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177
Rnd5
Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes is a better player than the 177th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
Taking Antonio Kite in pick No. 238 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
