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

You build a draft on nights like this. Emeka Egbuka had no business being available in No. 76, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They are betting Belton proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A slide stopped in pick No. 63, with Alfred Collins worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They reached a country mile for Anthony Belton at slot 66, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Emeka Egbuka
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 76th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach pick 95 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the 149th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in No. 204 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
Steal is underselling it; Caleb Rogers at slot 226 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A straight-up fair deal on Tonka Hemingway at the 251st pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at pick No. 257. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
