Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Dennis-Sutton should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Dani Dennis-Sutton, the No. 82 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 193. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on defensive back with tight end, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
A curious use of pick 32. Tight end, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a defensive back in Malaki Starks did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson is a better player than the 64th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They barely believed it either: Ashton Gillotte still on the board at the 69th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in slot 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 128 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in No. 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd7 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
