Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chiefs to a D.

The tape said wait; the Chiefs did not. Adepoju Adebawore went at No. 177, a good 57 picks before the board was ready.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Klare pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The veteran additions, De'Von Achane chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 21st overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A quiet steal in the 40th pick: Caleb Banks for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
A reach for Austin Siereveld in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare in slot 90 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
A real head-scratcher, Monroe Freeling in Round 4, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They paid a round early for Zachariah Branch in pick No. 109, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at Round 5, Pick 2 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Rodriguez well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in slot 177 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A straight-up fair deal on Aaron Graves at the 179th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
