Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Joshua Cephus at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simpson. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 31st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Fair-plus on T'Vondre Sweat, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at pick 94, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 131 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Simpson in the 161st pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They jumped the gun on Michael Barrett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Value said wait; Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Cephus in slot 209 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They paid sticker price for Dwight McGlothern in pick 252, and that is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
