Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC- TradesC+ FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Chiefs: C+.

Hard to follow the map here. The Chiefs bypassed offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Cam Coleman at Round 1, Pick 9, a spot they had covered. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Cole where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They are betting Coleman proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 9 on Cam Coleman with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Cole
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Chris Cole while clear needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick74 Rnd3 Peter Clarke
A reach on Peter Clarke in Round 3, Pick 10; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zach Lutmer
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zach Lutmer adds a cornerback and leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick176 Rnd5 Amare Thomas
Amare Thomas in pick 176 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
