Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Somebody took the Chiefs to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

Reaching for Jatta left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Scott pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick No. 9 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 21 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Good price on Sonny Styles in pick 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Nice patience on Eli Stowers, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 10. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
The board had Kaytron Allen higher than the 109th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slid further than he should have, and the 121st pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 David Oke
David Oke at No. 147 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd5 Isaiah Jatta
They talked themselves into Isaiah Jatta at No. 177, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
