Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall

FutureB-
The Chiefs let Klare fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chiefs, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.
They banked enough surplus on Klare to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
David Bailey
In pick 9 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Bell
The board had Chris Bell higher than pick No. 40, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Caleb Banks
They barely believed it either: Caleb Banks still on the board at the 74th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Max Klare
Taking Max Klare in No. 109 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Bishop Fitzgerald
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bishop Fitzgerald at slot 121. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kage Casey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kage Casey in pick 147. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
Value with a capital V on Jaydn Ott in Round 5, Pick 38, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
