Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Chiefs did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Mesidor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Sadiq steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 12 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenyon Sadiq in No. 36. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ Allen. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ian Strong
They jumped the gun on Ian Strong, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
They let Daylen Everette come to them and pounced at the 74th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They liked Nicholas Singleton enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 14. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Akheem Mesidor this early at the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in the 144th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Louis at the 147th pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They read the board right and Aamil Wagner was the payoff at the 177th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
