Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 91st overall pick: the Chiefs steal Mitchell and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Adonai Mitchell, slot 91, roughly 52 picks past where he belonged.

If Murphy II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 28th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Circle this one: Adonai Mitchell at slot 91 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Simpson still on the board at pick 161. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick171 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A reach on Christian Jones in No. 171; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in Round 5, Pick 39 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick206 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Barrett at the 206th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
