Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
F
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureF
The Chiefs overdrafted Morgan III and paid the price. Grade: F. The John Morgan III pick is the one that will follow the Chiefs into the fall. They took him 93 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Landing Legette that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 28 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick30
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In slot 32 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at No. 60, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Fair-plus on Ruke Orhorhoro, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 32. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 93rd overall pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95
Rnd3
James Williams
A big swing on James Williams at pick No. 95, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at pick 99 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the 131st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
A real head-scratcher, Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 33 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 143 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 158th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tykee Smith in No. 159. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick162
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Good price on Sione Vaki in Round 5, Pick 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick198
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rasheen Ali. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202
Rnd6
Erick All
They paid up for Erick All at pick 202 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 206 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215
Rnd6
Blake Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Watson this early at Round 6, Pick 40. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Myles Cole
Myles Cole in pick No. 226 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 246th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
They reached into another round for Trajan Jeffcoat, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249
Rnd7
John Morgan III
John Morgan III in the 249th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
