njjj DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Chiefs walked out of the weekend still thin at tight end, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Chris Peal
Chris Peal in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick40
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Nothing to complain about; Will Echoles went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Rod Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rod Moore. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jacarrius Peak
Jacarrius Peak at pick No. 109 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Noah Carter
By-the-book stuff, Noah Carter at the 146th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176
Rnd5
Evan Stewart
No edge and no loss on Evan Stewart in the 176th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
