Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Miles Kitselman as overpay for him, 24 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Zion Young
In the 29th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 40 with a little surplus value in Brandon Cisse. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at Round 3, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
They took Genesis Smith at par in the 109th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at slot 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Travis Burke
Travis Burke in No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the 176th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick210 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at pick No. 210 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
