Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB
The Chiefs let Collins fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Audavion Collins tumbling to the Chiefs in the 215th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Lopa pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and running back. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Trevor Lauck
Trevor Lauck at slot 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 David Stone
David Stone in No. 63 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Taking Kade Pieper in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins in pick No. 98 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kingston Lopa
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kingston Lopa at safety with quarterback and running back open.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zereoue Williams
They paid a round early for Zereoue Williams in pick 125, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Sammy Omosigho
A curious use of the 138th overall pick. Quarterback and running back needed the pick; a linebacker in Sammy Omosigho did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Faison
Fair-plus on Jordan Faison, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in Round 5, Pick 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick191 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea is a better player than No. 191 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Mateen Ibirogba
A slide stopped in the 210th overall pick, with Mateen Ibirogba worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Audavion Collins
A cornerback of that caliber at the 215th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick256 Rnd7 Owen Chambliss
Value with a capital V on Owen Chambliss in pick 256, a genuine coup. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
