Draft Grade — Chiefs

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The T.J. Sanders pick is the one that will follow the Chiefs into the fall. They took him 28 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 26 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 58th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 89 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in the 126th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick167 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
They took Theo Wease Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A reach for AJ Barner in Round 5, Pick 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take T.J. Sanders this early at the 175th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
No drama and no debate, Tatum Bethune went about where he belonged in pick 204. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
By-the-book stuff, Willie Roberts at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
