Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Chiefs found their guy under center in Williams: D.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Chiefs took David Ugwoegbu a full 77 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Bishop steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 32nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Worthy at No. 64. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Taking Cole Bishop in pick No. 122 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
By-the-book stuff, Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They went early on Jordan Travis in the 159th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They took Braiden McGregor at par in the 173rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
They left a pile of value on the table to take David Ugwoegbu this early at slot 252. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
