Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Chiefs got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Chiefs went off the board in a big way for Jared Wiley, 34 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in pick No. 35, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 50th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 53 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Max Melton
A reach on Max Melton in the 64th pick; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 3, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They reached a country mile for Johnny Wilson at slot 95, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
By-the-book stuff, Walter Rouse at the 159th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick 162 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in the 169th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
They talked themselves into Kendall Milton at pick No. 171, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wiley this early at No. 172. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in Round 5, Pick 37 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 186 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They paid up for Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 202nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
