Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Derrick Moore, 46 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barham. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 9th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Nice patience on Kayden McDonald, who had no business lasting to pick No. 40. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A quiet steal in the 74th pick: A.J. Haulcy for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in No. 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in Round 3, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at pick 109 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
Steal is underselling it; Jaishawn Barham at Round 5, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 177th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
