Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chiefs did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most.

The cost of the Driskell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Barrett at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at the 64th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cole Bishop in the 133rd pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in slot 158 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in pick 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 31. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
