Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesC+ FutureB+
The Chiefs robbed the room for Stone. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: David Stone, the No. 18 name on the board, stolen at the 76th pick.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With tight end, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Cole
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chris Cole adds a linebacker and leaves tight end, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kade Pieper in the 63rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 David Stone
They barely believed it either: David Stone still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins at the 78th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Circle this one: Greg Johnson at Round 3, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Corey Myrick
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots to take Corey Myrick, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick138 Rnd4 Koi Perich
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent No. 138 on Koi Perich, a safety they were not short of.
Pick164 Rnd5 John Curry
No edge and no loss on John Curry in slot 164; it is a wash and a sensible one. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They read the board right and Jermaine Mathews Jr. was the payoff at the 192nd pick. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee slipping to Round 6, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nyziah Hunter
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nyziah Hunter. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Sammy Omosigho
A slide stopped in slot 256, with Sammy Omosigho worth more than the price. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
