Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Sturdivant: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let J. Michael Sturdivant slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at pick No. 167. Highway robbery.

The Logan Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 25th pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They robbed the room for Adonai Mitchell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick167 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 167 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Somehow Mike Sainristil was still sitting there in the 171st overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 39, with Ashton Gillotte worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They took Oronde Gadsden II at par in slot 203, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A wild overpay on Kenny Logan Jr. in the 246th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
