Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

The Garrett Dellinger pick is the one that will follow the Chiefs into the fall. They took him 36 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Trapilo steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in slot 63: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 66 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ozzy Trapilo in the 95th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 133 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick226 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
No edge and no loss on Carson Vinson in the 226th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A reach on Marcus Yarns in pick No. 251; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Dellinger well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
