Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

Some picks age like wine; Eric O'Neill at the 176th pick will need to, sitting 84 spots clear of his grade.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Lawson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love slid further than he should have, and No. 12 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in Round 2, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at slot 74 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 109th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A straight-up fair deal on Davison Igbinosun at pick 150, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick176 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
