Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 197th overall pick lands the Chiefs a D+, Allen and all.

The Jordan Burch selection is the head-turner. The Chiefs reached 31 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. However the rest shakes out, Allen at that price is a win they earned.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 22nd pick they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 64th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A big swing on Jordan Burch at No. 66, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had Omarr Norman-Lott higher than pick 86, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They reached a country mile for Anthony Belton at pick No. 96, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at the 132nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 157 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick197 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at Round 6, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
