Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Zinter: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Zak Zinter slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at pick 127. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing. Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 64th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Wright in the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in pick No. 91. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in pick 95, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe slipping to slot 158 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 172nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
