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

The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Aaron Lewis, 46 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Worthy. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 31st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Worthy in the 63rd overall pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy little value on Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 31, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 161. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 171 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A conviction pick on Michael Barrett at pick 175 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wiley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
