Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chiefs and Irving: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Bucky Irving had no business being available in slot 159, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 32nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at slot 131 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
You do not let a running back like Bucky Irving reach pick 159 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Mason McCormick in the 173rd pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A slide stopped in No. 221, with Edefuan Ulofoshio worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
