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

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chiefs, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The final tally is a middling C-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Mitchell to cover a lot of smaller sins. If Wingo pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

So much rides on Jordan Morgan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Adonai Mitchell at the 46th overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
They jumped the gun on Brandon Dorlus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A conviction pick on Mekhi Wingo at slot 95 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at Round 4, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at the 159th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
