Casj DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs

Draft Grade — Chiefs

The Chiefs let Sadiq fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Thirty-one other rooms let Kenyon Sadiq slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at the 45th overall pick. Highway robbery.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at slot 45 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Good price on Deontae Lawson in Round 3, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Fair-plus on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick155
Rnd5
Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at pick 155 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178
Rnd5
Darius Taylor
The board had Darius Taylor higher than the 178th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
