Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Chiefs a B+, Neal and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Julian Neal got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at Round 4, Pick 9. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Jalen Nailor deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The Canady reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 18th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Romello Height
Romello Height in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They let Christen Miller come to them and pounced at pick 49. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in the 56th overall pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at slot 77 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Julian Neal at pick No. 109 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick146 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They did well to land DeMonte Capehart in Round 5, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
By-the-book stuff, Dae'Quan Wright at No. 176 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Brenen Thompson
The board fumbled Brenen Thompson all the way to slot 193, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
They went early on Jadon Canady in the 194th pick, and the value did not follow. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Wright went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
