Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chiefs to a C.

Somebody took the Chiefs to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The final tally is a middling C.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thomas Jr..

Hit on Troy Fautanu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 32nd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 40th overall pick, where Brian Thomas Jr. graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske slipping to slot 64 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 95 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
No drama and no debate, Jaheim Bell went about where he belonged in No. 158. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Good price on Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They read the board right and Kimani Vidal was the payoff at pick No. 252. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
