CheeseBurger Pardise DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chiefs

FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Taaffe. Final grade: B. When a board-topper like Michael Taaffe slides to Round 4, Pick 17, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
A slide stopped in the 18th pick, with Jeremiyah Love worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
The board fumbled Gennings Dunker all the way to No. 49, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82
Rnd3
CJ Allen
They barely believed it either: CJ Allen still on the board at the 82nd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Michael Taaffe
They will replay Michael Taaffe at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jyaire Hill
Taking Jyaire Hill in Round 5, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Steal is underselling it; Kage Casey at pick 177 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
