Draft Grade — Chiefs

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The war room fell hard for Gavin Bartholomew, and it showed at the 252nd pick: 35 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Johnny Wilson
In slot 31 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They paid a round early for Adonai Mitchell in the 63rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at Round 3, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in No. 131 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They liked Ainias Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 163. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 171, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They paid up for Devin Neal at slot 175 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in Round 6, Pick 34 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
They reached a country mile for Gavin Bartholomew at No. 252, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
