Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Larceny in No. 249 lands the Chiefs a B-, Cephus and all.

It is a puzzling start. The Chiefs had tight end, quarterback and other spots to solve and reached instead for Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE, at the Round 3 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Cephus pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 74th pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
No drama and no debate, Tyler Davis went about where he belonged in pick No. 91. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They went early on Jaylan Ford in the 161st overall pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 171 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 175 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick189 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
By-the-book stuff, Rasheen Ali at the 189th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
The board had Isaiah Williams higher than slot 206, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jeremy James
They took Jeremy James at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Steal is underselling it; Joshua Cephus at the 249th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
