Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Abrams-Draine: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kris Abrams-Draine, slot 175, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Reaching for Knox left real value on the table behind him. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 31st overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Somehow Troy Fautanu was still sitting there in the 63rd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 31 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson is a better player than pick No. 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Rogers. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick 171 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
They robbed the room for Kris Abrams-Draine here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick209 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and De'Corian Clark at No. 209 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in Round 7, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
