Draft Grade — Chiefs

Grand theft in the 63rd overall pick: the Chiefs steal Hampton and grade out a B-.

The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: Omarion Hampton, the No. 31 name on the board, sitting there at the 63rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Walker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 2, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95 Rnd3 David Walker
They liked David Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in the 95th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick226 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They paid sticker price for Carson Vinson in the 226th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks is a better player than slot 251 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
No edge and no loss on Marcus Yarns in pick No. 257; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
