Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Solomon Byrd, 35 picks early at the Round 7 slot.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Thomas Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In pick 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 DJ James
Nice patience on DJ James, who had no business lasting to the 95th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They paid up for Luke McCaffrey at Round 4, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 139th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Jefferson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A real head-scratcher, Nathaniel Watson in the 191st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd in the 222nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in No. 252 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
