Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B.

The Chiefs treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 133 on Joe Milton III a full 65 spots early. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Landing Mims that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 32 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 64 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the 133rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They took Jaheim Bell at par in pick No. 158, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at Round 5, Pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
