Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Chiefs get a C+.

Priorities are a choice, and the Chiefs made a strange one, taking Koi Perich at safety in the Round 3 slot with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher crying out for the pick instead. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bowen.

So much rides on Trey'Dez Green that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In slot 24 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kewan Lacy
Good price on Kewan Lacy in the 55th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick78 Rnd3 Koi Perich
A want over a need in pick No. 78: Koi Perich adds a safety while interior defensive lineman and edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick88 Rnd3 Chris Peal
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chris Peal adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman and edge rusher untouched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
A curious use of pick 125. Interior defensive lineman and edge rusher needed the pick; a linebacker in Whit Weeks did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Amare Thomas
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Amare Thomas at wide receiver with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher open.
Pick163 Rnd5 Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin at slot 163 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick191 Rnd6 Eli Bowen
They let Eli Bowen come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick210 Rnd6 Blake Frazier
Blake Frazier at No. 210 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Dylan Raiola
They paid up for Dylan Raiola at the 256th pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
