Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Trapilo. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ozzy Trapilo at No. 133 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than Round 2, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in slot 66. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Circle this one: Jalen Royals at pick 95 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
The board fumbled Ozzy Trapilo all the way to pick No. 133, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tonka Hemingway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James in No. 257 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
