Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Golday: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Golday slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at pick No. 109. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 9 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Zion Young
They paid sticker price for Zion Young in pick No. 40, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board fumbled Omar Cooper Jr. all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at the 109th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They did well to land DeMonte Capehart in slot 148, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Steal is underselling it; Aamil Wagner at the 185th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Value with a capital V on Thaddeus Dixon in No. 223, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
