Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Chiefs a B+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Amare Thomas, 41 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Cole pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Chris Cole
Chris Cole in Round 2, Pick 23 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
A tidy bit of business in pick 63, where Kade Pieper graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They reached a country mile for Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the 76th pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins slid further than he should have, and the 87th overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Circle this one: Greg Johnson at pick No. 95 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Corey Myrick
A reasonable price with a little left over, Corey Myrick in the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick153 Rnd5 Koi Perich
Somehow Koi Perich was still sitting there in slot 153, and they pounced on premier safety value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Amare Thomas
Amare Thomas at pick 170 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A slide stopped in No. 192, with Jermaine Mathews Jr. worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick193 Rnd6 John Curry
Steal is underselling it; John Curry at the 193rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick209 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
Benjamin Brahmer at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho in the 244th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Junior Sherrill
They did well to land Junior Sherrill in Round 7, Pick 35, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
