Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Sturdivant fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and J. Michael Sturdivant fell into No. 175. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Reaching for Rice left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at Round 1, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brenden Rice this early at pick 63. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the 94th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jo'Quavious Marks
They paid up for Jo'Quavious Marks at pick No. 131 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 158th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A defensive back of that caliber at No. 171 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick175 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
Steal is underselling it; J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
