Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 249: the Chiefs steal Rosengarten and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Roger Rosengarten had no business being available in the 249th pick, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Hopper proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Tampa at the 60th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Circle this one: Jermaine Burton at No. 91 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They barely believed it either: Blake Fisher still on the board at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 161 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at Round 5, Pick 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A reach for AJ Barner in pick No. 175; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Value with a capital V on Jase McClellan in the 206th overall pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Roger Rosengarten
They will replay Roger Rosengarten at the 249th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
