Draft Grade — Chiefs

FutureB-
The Chiefs let Haulcy fall and pounced. Final grade: D+. The Chiefs lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Proctor reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
They did well to land Francis Mauigoa in Round 1, Pick 9, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Sarratt. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jonah Coleman
They paid a round early for Jonah Coleman in pick 58, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in No. 78 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jack Endries
The board had cheaper options than Jack Endries at pick No. 92, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127
Rnd4
Malik Benson
They jumped the gun on Malik Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at Round 4, Pick 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick 146 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in No. 154 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Febechi Nwaiwu
They paid sticker price for Febechi Nwaiwu in the 171st overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick No. 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kaelon Black
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaelon Black in the 216th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
No edge and no loss on De'Zhaun Stribling in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
