Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Stowers. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: Eli Stowers, the No. 52 name on the board, sitting there at pick 74 like a gift left on the doorstep.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Capehart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick 29 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dillon Thieneman in No. 40. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They will replay Eli Stowers at the 74th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Nice patience on Malik Benson, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the 169th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick176 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keagen Trost. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
