Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in pick No. 80: the Chiefs steal Washington and grade out a A-.

The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: A'Mauri Washington, the No. 24 name on the board, sitting there at slot 80 like a gift left on the doorstep. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Green pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The veteran additions, Derrick Henry chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the 14th pick they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In No. 29 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Will Echoles in slot 49 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ahmad Hardy
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ahmad Hardy in pick No. 72, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Steal is underselling it; Kade Pieper at Round 3, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
They will replay A'Mauri Washington at the 80th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jelani McDonald
Jelani McDonald at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Sprague
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andrew Sprague in pick 93. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Vicari Swain
You do not let a cornerback like Vicari Swain reach the 109th overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dylan Raiola
They liked Dylan Raiola enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 112. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ian Strong
They let Ian Strong come to them and pounced at pick 133. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Koi Perich
Taking Koi Perich in the 146th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick157 Rnd5 AJ Green
AJ Green in slot 157 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Myles Graham
Circle this one: Myles Graham at pick No. 158 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at Round 5, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A quiet steal in the 176th overall pick: Jermaine Mathews Jr. for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick221 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
By-the-book stuff, DeAndre Moore Jr. at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Benjamin Brahmer
Somehow Benjamin Brahmer was still sitting there in slot 234, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 C.J. Fite
The board fumbled C.J. Fite all the way to the 235th pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell in pick No. 236 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho in No. 249 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
