Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Anthony Lucas in the 40th pick, a good 63 spots before the room expected him. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

That Kilgore pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Hit on Cashius Howell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In slot 9 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him.
Pick29 Rnd1 Romello Height
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at pick 40 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at No. 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Taking Jonah Coleman in the 109th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at No. 169 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jalon Kilgore
Somehow Jalon Kilgore was still sitting there in slot 176, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick210 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
