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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cody Schrader got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at the 252nd overall pick.

The cost of the Barron reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The DeJean pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, quarterback and other spots.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 31 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A want over a need in the 63rd pick: Cooper DeJean adds a defensive back while tight end, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick94 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They jumped the gun on Matt Goncalves, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
A reach for Tyler Guyton in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They reached into another round for Devin Neal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 171 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at the 175th pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 209th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at slot 252 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
