Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Barton. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Graham Barton slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at the 61st pick. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Graham Barton in pick No. 61, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan is a better player than pick 92 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Max Melton
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 129 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick161 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Good price on Austin Booker in the 161st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 171st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Davis in slot 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in Round 6, Pick 32 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
