Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Tate. Final grade: B-. When a board-topper like Carnell Tate slides to the 46th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Carter Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Dani Dennis-Sutton
In the 15th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at pick No. 46 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116
Rnd4
Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. at pick 116 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jadarian Price
Steal is underselling it; Jadarian Price at Round 5, Pick 15 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at slot 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
