JoshWeb2 DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
B-
ValueB-

FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Bernard from sliding. Grade: B-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Germie Bernard, the 109th overall pick, roughly 47 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Howell proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Cashius Howell
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In No. 29 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Zion Young
Zion Young at pick No. 40 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Washington Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in Round 4, Pick 9 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
A reach on Rayshaun Benny in the 148th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Good price on Kage Casey in slot 169, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
Nice patience on Marlin Klein, who had no business lasting to pick 176. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210
Rnd6
VJ Payne
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing VJ Payne in No. 210. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
