Pj DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs

Draft Grade — Chiefs

The Chiefs have some explaining to do: D. The Chiefs bet big and early on Trikweze Bridges, 362 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The Belton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Quinn Carroll
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Maliq Carr
They reached into another round for Maliq Carr, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66
Rnd3
Trikweze Bridges
Trikweze Bridges in the 66th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jake Smith
A big swing on Jake Smith at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Omari Thomas
A wild overpay on Omari Thomas in slot 133, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226
Rnd7
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in pick 226 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Bam Martin-Scott
They talked themselves into Bam Martin-Scott at Round 7, Pick 35, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Aydan White
Value said wait; Aydan White in slot 257 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
