Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D-.

Somebody took the Chiefs to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Sadiq pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick 4 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In pick No. 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A tidy little value on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 72nd pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick101 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They read the board right and Darrell Jackson Jr. was the payoff at slot 101. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 102nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They let Zachariah Branch come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 25. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in pick No. 147, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick177 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
No edge and no loss on Le'Veon Moss in slot 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
