Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
The Chiefs robbed the room for Wheatley. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Zakee Wheatley, No. 114, roughly 43 picks past where he belonged.

Reaching for Payton left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
The board had Kayden McDonald higher than the Round 2 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They read the board right and Eli Stowers was the payoff at No. 74. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ian Strong
The board fumbled Ian Strong all the way to the 84th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Taking Keith Abney II in slot 109 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at pick 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
No drama and no debate, Max Iheanachor went about where he belonged in pick No. 147. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
They jumped the gun on Le'Veon Moss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in Round 6, Pick 12 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
They let Antonio Kite come to them and pounced at slot 195. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
