Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B.

The Chiefs treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 250 on Tahj Washington a full 129 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 44 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Good price on Junior Colson in pick No. 77, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in slot 95, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 158th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A straight-up fair deal on Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick210 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
You do not let a linebacker like Michael Barrett reach slot 210 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 250th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
