Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs torched the value chart for Gavin Bartholomew, taking him 146 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 61st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick No. 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 129th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A reach on Roger Rosengarten in slot 161; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A conviction pick on AJ Barner at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Gavin Bartholomew
They reached a country mile for Gavin Bartholomew at the 207th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at No. 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
