Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chiefs and Johnson: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Chiefs shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love at pick No. 11 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick24 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 24 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at the 40th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington is a better player than the 74th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mikail Kamara in Round 4, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at pick 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tao Johnson
The board fumbled Tao Johnson all the way to No. 147, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A straight-up fair deal on Lander Barton at slot 177, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Calhoun. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
