Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 64: the Chiefs steal Coleman and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Keon Coleman at slot 64 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They will need McCaffrey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 32nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 64 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in Round 3, Pick 32, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They paid up for Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 158 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 172 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick210 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at No. 210 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They paid a round early for Joshua Cephus in the 250th pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
