Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureC+
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Jalen Coker as overpay for him, 32 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Vaki steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 32nd overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A quiet steal in the 34th pick: Amarius Mims for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 67 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki is a better player than No. 173 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick193 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
A wild overpay on Jalen Coker in slot 218, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at the 250th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
