Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Chiefs got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The phones were a trap the Chiefs kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

The Rashid Shaheed pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Fair-plus on Keon Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No drama and no debate, Kris Jenkins went about where he belonged in slot 42. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in pick No. 64, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 95th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
A big swing on Brennan Jackson at pick 133, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Good price on Malik Mustapha in No. 158, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick172 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
