Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Barner. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. AJ Barner had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 31, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Wilson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
They paid a round early for Johnny Wilson in slot 60, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A quiet steal in the 128th pick: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in pick 161 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and LaDarius Henderson at Round 5, Pick 35 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A straight-up fair deal on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 175th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They barely believed it either: AJ Barner still on the board at No. 206. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 249 with a little surplus value in Evan Williams. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
