Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 175 lands the Chiefs a B-, Johnson and all.

Call it larceny. Cedric Johnson sat on the board until the 175th pick, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Proctor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They paid sticker price for Mekhi Wingo in the 61st overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick No. 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Max Melton
You do not let a cornerback like Max Melton reach slot 129 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick161 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
A premium they did not need to pay, Josh Proctor a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
They will replay Cedric Johnson at No. 175 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A straight-up fair deal on Tanor Bortolini at the 207th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Nothing to complain about; Aaron Frost went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
