Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Greenfield. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Garret Greenfield tumbling to the Chiefs in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick 32 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 DJ James
Value with a capital V on DJ James in pick No. 64, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus is a better player than Round 3, Pick 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at slot 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Laube at the 159th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
The board had Dwight McGlothern higher than No. 173, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Garret Greenfield in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
