Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: C-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Patrick Payton, 51 picks early at No. 196.

Thomas falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in pick No. 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller is a better player than the 74th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at the 89th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith slid further than he should have, and pick 100 is lovely value for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A conviction pick on Max Llewellyn at No. 124 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with CJ Daniels worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A big swing on Aaron Graves at No. 146, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
The board fumbled Jakobe Thomas all the way to the 163rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick172 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in Round 5, Pick 34 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A quiet steal in the 184th pick: Aamil Wagner for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ephesians Prysock. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick190 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A straight-up fair deal on Pat Coogan at pick No. 190, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in pick 196 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Taking Thaddeus Dixon in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at Round 7, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Zuhn III at pick 255 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
