timsaves99 DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
B-
ValueC-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Chiefs kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Gavin Bartholomew at pick 175 regardless, 179 picks early.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
They jumped the gun on Brenden Rice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91
Rnd3
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 91st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
Value said wait; Jaylin Simpson in Round 4, Pick 28 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A reach for Jordan Jefferson in the 161st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
AJ Barner
A premium they did not need to pay, AJ Barner a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175
Rnd5
Gavin Bartholomew
Gavin Bartholomew at the 175th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206
Rnd6
Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu in the 206th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249
Rnd7
Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
