Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
C-
ValueB

FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chiefs to a C-. The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Quintayvious Hutchins, 40 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Cooper Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Marvin Mims Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In pick 9 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at the 29th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Christen Miller at Round 2, Pick 8 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Omar Cooper Jr. at the 74th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109
Rnd4
Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at slot 109 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130
Rnd4
Joe Royer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joe Royer at pick No. 130. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148
Rnd5
Quintayvious Hutchins
A big swing on Quintayvious Hutchins at slot 148, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169
Rnd5
Eric Rivers
Nice patience on Eric Rivers, who had no business lasting to pick 169. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
Fair-plus on Kaleb Proctor, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A slide stopped in the 176th pick, with Domani Jackson worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick210
Rnd6
Keyshaun Elliott
A straight-up fair deal on Keyshaun Elliott at No. 210, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Thaddeus Dixon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Thaddeus Dixon at the 227th overall pick is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick239
Rnd7
Tyler Onyedim
Tyler Onyedim in Round 7, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Alan Herron
Alan Herron in pick No. 256 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
