Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 93: the Chiefs steal Ramsey and grade out a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kamari Ramsey, pick No. 93, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Chiefs indulged a want in Clark while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They will need Igbinosun to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
They read the board right and Anthony Hill Jr. was the payoff at the Round 1 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They will replay Kenyon Sadiq at pick No. 61 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at Round 3, Pick 29 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in pick 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Bud Clark adds a safety and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 132nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tree Babalade
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tree Babalade at No. 168 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in slot 207 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant in pick 212 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
A quiet steal in the 242nd overall pick: Jacobe Johnson for less than the market said. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
Ethan Onianwa in pick No. 257 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
