Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Kilgore. Final grade: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Chiefs did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Landing Kilgore that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Cisse. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Value with a capital V on Eli Stowers in the 74th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson in No. 109 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Miller
By-the-book stuff, Blake Miller at Round 4, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jalon Kilgore
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Kilgore at pick 147 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick177 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant slipping to No. 177 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
