Saultee DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Chiefs let Lawson fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Deontae Lawson tumbling to the Chiefs in Round 4, Pick 9 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in the 40th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Value with a capital V on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in slot 109, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
