Draft Grade — Chiefs

The Chiefs kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Chiefs walked out of the weekend still thin at wide receiver, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Trapilo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: tight end settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 31st pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They went early on Ozzy Trapilo in the 66th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Good price on Gunnar Helm in No. 95, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
