Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall

ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the C-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaylen Harrell in pick 184, a good 36 spots before the room expected him.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Trotter Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Hit on Keon Coleman and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in No. 38 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the 64th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. still on the board at the 78th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95
Rnd3
Javon Foster
They reached into another round for Javon Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 119. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason McCormick this early at pick No. 133. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 158 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
By-the-book stuff, Dwight McGlothern at pick 172 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Harrell at slot 184, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 194th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 13 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
