Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Theo Johnson at No. 95 regardless, 41 picks early.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Fisher at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 46th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 32. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in No. 73 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Blake Fisher at pick No. 82. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright slid further than he should have, and pick 90 is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Value with a capital V on Khyree Jackson in slot 92, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 95th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in No. 133 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 193rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
