Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Mims from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Amarius Mims got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at the 57th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Hatten to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at No. 25 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
You do not let an offensive lineman like Amarius Mims reach pick No. 57 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A big swing on Audric Estime at Round 3, Pick 26, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Theo Wease
They liked Theo Wease enough to skip the value, taking him in the 125th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They paid up for Theo Johnson at pick 167 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in slot 171 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tre Harris at the 175th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Good price on Darius Robinson in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at the 246th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
