Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chiefs worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chiefs reached some 43 spots for Marquis Johnson, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hood. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 30 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that.
Pick46 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the 46th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Fair-plus on A.J. Haulcy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94 Rnd3 Colton Hood
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 94 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 4, Pick 19 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in pick 154 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
They paid up for Monroe Mills at pick No. 170 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
Value said wait; Eric O'Neill in the 176th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at pick 198 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick233 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
Marquis Johnson at No. 233 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
