Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D+.

The Chiefs torched the value chart for Dominique Hampton, taking him 62 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Taylor-Demerson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in pick No. 39. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A conviction pick on Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at the 64th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at Round 3, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 71st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams in pick 90 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at slot 95. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 1, with Dadrion Taylor-Demerson worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at No. 104 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Cam Hart in pick No. 105 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in the 112th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A clean, defensible pick in the 120th pick with a little surplus value in Matt Goncalves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 132 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the 171st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ryan Flournoy
They talked themselves into Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 172, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dominique Hampton
A big swing on Dominique Hampton at the 173rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
