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

The Chiefs torched the value chart for Storm Duck, taking him 84 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 63rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They jumped the gun on Matt Goncalves, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Brennan Jackson in slot 171, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They paid a round early for Isaiah Davis in the 175th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kenny Logan Jr. at the 209th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick252 Rnd7 Storm Duck
They left a pile of value on the table to take Storm Duck this early at the Round 7 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
