Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B-. For all the boxes ticked, the Chiefs skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Reaching for Mesidor left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 9th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40
Rnd2
Akheem Mesidor
The board had cheaper options than Akheem Mesidor at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
