Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent Round 1, Pick 32 on Tre Harris, a name most had 25 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Cornelius at that price is a win they earned. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In No. 32 they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
A reach for T.J. Sanders in the 69th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 71st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in pick 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 103 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They took Dylan Fairchild at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
By-the-book stuff, Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 160 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick193 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
They talked themselves into Akheem Mesidor at pick 224, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
