Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Dorlus fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Brandon Dorlus at the 94th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Gore Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 31 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kingsley Suamataia in the 63rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Taking Brandon Dorlus in pick 94 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the 131st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 5, Pick 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 175 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They did well to land Jordan Magee in pick No. 209, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 252nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
