Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
D

FutureA
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trey Moore in the 176th overall pick, a good 36 spots before the room expected him. Put together, it is a D.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Getting Kilgore where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 18th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
You do not let a tight end like Kenyon Sadiq reach pick No. 46 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the 64th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
They paid up for Keith Abney II at Round 3, Pick 4 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
No drama and no debate, Eli Stowers went about where he belonged in No. 77. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Kaytron Allen
A reach on Kaytron Allen in No. 96; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They paid sticker price for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 114th pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120
Rnd4
Blake Miller
They went early on Blake Miller in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 132nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jalon Kilgore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jalon Kilgore in pick No. 153, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick158
Rnd5
Darius Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Taylor this early at pick 158. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They paid a round early for DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd5
Trey Moore
Value said wait; Trey Moore in slot 176 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in pick No. 251 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
