Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jeremy Flax in pick No. 210, a good 32 spots before the room expected him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Suamataia.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 32 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 32 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in the 95th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at slot 133 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 158th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy little value on Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 172, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
A wild overpay on Walter Rouse in the 250th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
