Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Chiefs a B, Bryant and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched Cobee Bryant slide 81 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If Gordon II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 31 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that.
Pick63 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bradyn Swinson in the 63rd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Harold Fannin Jr. at No. 66 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and the 95th pick is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
They reached a country mile for Ollie Gordon II at Round 4, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
