Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D+.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Zak Zinter as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 32 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A slide stopped in the 64th pick, with Malachi Corley worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 74 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Theo Johnson in No. 95 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Thomas at the 159th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Schrader at Round 5, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
