Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureD
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B.

The Chiefs clearly saw something nobody else did in Derrick Moore, taking him 32 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Tate falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 14th overall pick they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick76 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Nothing to complain about; Eli Stowers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in No. 114; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Derrick Moore in slot 121, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
By-the-book stuff, Max Iheanachor at pick 164 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
