Ach3r0n DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs

Draft Grade — Chiefs

The Chiefs kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Kaelon Black; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at Round 5, Pick 38.
The Clark steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In No. 9 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40
Rnd2
Zion Young
A straight-up fair deal on Zion Young at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Domonique Orange. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
They liked Davison Igbinosun enough to skip the value, taking him in the 109th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick No. 146 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176
Rnd5
Kaelon Black
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaelon Black in pick 176, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
