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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: CJ Allen, the No. 29 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 9.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Kenyon Sadiq in the 40th overall pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in pick 74 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 CJ Allen
Steal is underselling it; CJ Allen at No. 109 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Joe Royer
They will replay Joe Royer at slot 176 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
