Reheheheheh DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
C+
ValueF
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Chiefs, and a C+ to match. The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jared Brown at the 176th pick regardless, 287 picks early.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lee III. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
If Makai Lemon and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
No edge and no loss on Makai Lemon in pick No. 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at the 40th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Max Llewellyn
They talked themselves into Max Llewellyn at Round 4, Pick 9, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146
Rnd5
Will Lee III
Will Lee III in pick 146 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick176
Rnd5
Jared Brown
They reached a country mile for Jared Brown at No. 176, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
