Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC-
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D+.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Sam Hartman, 101 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 24 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 32 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright is a better player than pick 87 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Baker
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in the 95th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A real head-scratcher, Malik Mustapha in the 133rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dallin Holker this early at slot 138. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy bit of business in No. 158, where Jarrian Jones graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick172 Rnd5 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 172nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
A clean, defensible pick in pick 220 with a little surplus value in Tyrice Knight. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
