Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-.

The war room fell hard for Erick All, and it showed at the 171st pick: 79 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 26th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They jumped the gun on Ricky Pearsall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Davis a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in the 126th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Batty at No. 167 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Erick All
This one needs a full-page explanation: Erick All in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in the 175th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick No. 204 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Nothing to complain about; Eric Gentry went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
