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

The Chiefs spent real capital to be 40 picks early on Zion Young, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Neal pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 24 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Max Klare
A big swing on Max Klare at pick 40, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45 Rnd2 Zion Young
They talked themselves into Zion Young at the 45th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
No drama and no debate, Domonique Orange went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carter Smith
Carter Smith in the 76th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in slot 89 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Somehow Julian Neal was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bryce Lance well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at pick No. 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick177 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They reached into another round for Rayshaun Benny, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A real head-scratcher, De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 6, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
