Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B to prove it.

For all the boxes ticked, the Chiefs skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Nwankpa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 13 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
By-the-book stuff, Olaivavega Ioane at slot 46 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Colton Hood at the 77th overall pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They took Zachariah Branch at par in No. 114, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Terrance Carter Jr. at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Nwankpa at the 176th pick, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
