Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesC+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

It is a puzzling start. The Chiefs had wide receiver, tight end and other spots to solve and reached instead for Dillon Thieneman, a safety, at the 49th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thieneman.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk. The dealing was even money, start to finish.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 9th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A curious use of pick No. 49. Wide receiver, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Dillon Thieneman did not.
