Draft Grade — Chiefs

FutureB-
The Chiefs let Sadiq fall into their laps, and walked away with a D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Chiefs shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
Spending an early pick on cornerback with offensive lineman and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Curry pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Landing Sadiq that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In No. 9 they get a three-down runner at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
In pick 27 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
You do not let a tight end like Kenyon Sadiq reach Round 2, Pick 8 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Muhammad. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92
Rnd3
Caden Curry
They liked Caden Curry enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 92. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 109 on Daylen Everette with offensive lineman and quarterback unsolved.
Pick146
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 146th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in slot 176 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
