Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Walter Rouse, 79 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at pick No. 60 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A premium they did not need to pay, Audric Estime a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
They paid sticker price for Kamal Hadden in slot 128, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Value said wait; Michael Barrett in Round 5, Pick 25 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at the 171st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick No. 175 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 206 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Mason Fairchild at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
