Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chiefs to a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Akheem Mesidor at the 212th pick will need to, sitting 56 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Sturdivant pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Adding Zack Baun by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Value with a capital V on Gennings Dunker in slot 45, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Joe Royer
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Joe Royer in the 61st pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at No. 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Adepoju Adebawore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adepoju Adebawore well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jamal Haynes
They talked themselves into Jamal Haynes at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Campbell this early at Round 5, Pick 24. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 James Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: James Williams in the 207th overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
A real head-scratcher, Akheem Mesidor in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ty Simpson
No edge and no loss on Ty Simpson in slot 226; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 J.Michael Sturdivant
Somehow J.Michael Sturdivant was still sitting there in the 242nd pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Markis Deal
Markis Deal at No. 257 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
