Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Chiefs: C+.

Nobody else had Javon Foster anywhere near No. 95. The Chiefs did, by 24 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Hit on Kool-Aid McKinstry and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They liked Xavier Worthy enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 40. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 95 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 132nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Grayson Murphy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Coker at No. 252, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
