Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Myles Cole, and it showed at pick 131: 26 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Braswell steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In the 32nd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell slid further than he should have, and pick 64 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good price on Calen Bullock in the 95th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Myles Cole
A big swing on Myles Cole at Round 4, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A reach on Braiden McGregor in No. 159; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at slot 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
