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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chiefs never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Collins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A quiet steal in pick No. 63: Alfred Collins for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 66th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A clean, defensible pick in slot 95 with a little surplus value in Jordan Burch. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They took Malachi Moore at par in pick 133, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
