Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Suamataia: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Kingsley Suamataia, the No. 53 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 95.

The cost of the Rouse reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Nice patience on Troy Franklin, who had no business lasting to slot 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick 64; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Somehow Kingsley Suamataia was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Daijun Edwards
They took Daijun Edwards at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the 158th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 172nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson is a better player than No. 182 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick No. 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in slot 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
