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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent Round 5, Pick 37 on Michael Barrett, a name most had 45 spots down the list.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They reached a country mile for Dominick Puni at No. 66, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
A conviction pick on Isaac Guerendo at Round 3, Pick 32 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 132nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A real head-scratcher, Kitan Oladapo in slot 138 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Justin Eboigbe in slot 159. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 173rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Cephus. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
