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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Gavin Bartholomew, 95 picks ahead of schedule.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 25 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 25. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A wild overpay on Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A reach on Ray Davis in the 125th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at slot 167, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Gavin Bartholomew
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gavin Bartholomew well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 175 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to No. 203, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Benjamin Yurosek
Benjamin Yurosek at the 246th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
