Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Chiefs did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The cost of the Muhammad III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in slot 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa slipping to the 58th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy bit of business in No. 89, where Christian Haynes graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Moose Muhammad III
They reached into another round for Moose Muhammad III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
The board had Malik Mustapha higher than pick 167, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They did well to land Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 171, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 JT Daniels
Good price on JT Daniels in the 175th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darius Muasau at pick No. 204 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 247th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
