Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Chiefs lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Baylor Cupp, 94 picks ahead of schedule. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and linebacker still on the board. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at slot 37, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They reached into another round for Ruke Orhorhoro, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
The board had cheaper options than Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in the 69th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 3, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They liked Brenden Rice enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 81. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Johnny Wilson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A surprising call. With quarterback and linebacker still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 36 on Khyree Jackson, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick102 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 102nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They paid up for McKinnley Jackson at the 109th pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Eboigbe in No. 118, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 132 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kendall Milton this early at pick 159. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 37: Walter Rouse for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A reach for Myles Cole in slot 187; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Baylor Cupp
They talked themselves into Baylor Cupp at the 252nd pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
