Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chiefs.

Everything else got attention, and tight end got none. That is a strange way for the Chiefs to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They banked enough surplus on McGlothern to cover a lot of smaller sins. McCormick has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 32nd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 64 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 95 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They liked Mason McCormick enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 132. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke McCaffrey at the 159th overall pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They let Dwight McGlothern come to them and pounced at No. 173. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick252 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
A straight-up fair deal on Rasheen Ali at Round 7, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
