Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
C-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesD+
FutureF
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Chiefs: C-. Some picks age like wine; Dominique Hampton at the 173rd pick will need to, sitting 61 spots clear of his grade. The final tally is a middling C-.
Abrams-Draine falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Chiefs indulged a want in Abrams-Draine while a need in quarterback stayed open.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 42 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 50 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick64
Rnd2
DJ James
DJ James at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They reached a country mile for Dominick Puni at the 66th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They liked Austin Booker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 68. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at Round 3, Pick 5 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86
Rnd3
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick 90 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 91st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Johnny Wilson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Kris Abrams-Draine while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick110
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at slot 110, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 120 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
Value said wait; Dillon Johnson in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at slot 132 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the 137th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
A wild overpay on Walter Rouse in pick No. 142, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Layden Robinson a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the 171st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in Round 5, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd5
Dominique Hampton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominique Hampton this early at the 173rd pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
