Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did enough to get by: C+.

Nobody had Eli Stowers this high, and it is not close. The Chiefs reached 35 spots to get him at pick No. 46. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Getting Moore where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In slot 15 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
They reached into another round for Eli Stowers, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Rod Moore
They let Rod Moore come to them and pounced at No. 77. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Good price on Zachariah Branch in the 116th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at Round 5, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the 178th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
