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

For all the boxes ticked, the Chiefs skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

Beebe falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 J. Michael Sturdivant
They went early on J. Michael Sturdivant in the 89th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
A slide stopped in pick 126, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in the 171st pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease at pick No. 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
A reach for Sheridan Jones in No. 204; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
A tidy bit of business in the 247th pick, where Cody Schrader graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
