Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Chiefs got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Chiefs went off the board in a big way for Princewill Umanmielen, 92 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Chiefs indulged a want in Ponds while a need in offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 14 they get a three-down runner. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
Nothing to complain about; A'Mauri Washington went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A surprising call. With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 114 on D'Angelo Ponds, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick153 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at No. 153 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at slot 176 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
