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

The Chiefs bet big and early on Dwight McGlothern, 70 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Washington falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They robbed the room for Troy Franklin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A safety of that caliber at the 95th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They did well to land Justin Eboigbe in slot 133, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in the 158th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in No. 172 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Value said wait; Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 35 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick250 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
