Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Dwight McGlothern anywhere near pick No. 206. The Chiefs did, by 43 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Landing Mahogany that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in slot 60, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Mahogany in pick No. 91. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 128th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
By-the-book stuff, Kitan Oladapo at No. 161 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick171 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
They liked Isaiah Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 175. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They talked themselves into Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick249 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
A wild overpay on Aaron Lewis in Round 7, Pick 29, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
