Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chiefs spent the Round 3 slot on Mikail Kamara, a name the board had a full 33 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Miller pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 9 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A quiet steal in pick No. 47: Christen Miller for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in the 74th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in D'Angelo Ponds. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Coleman Jr. in No. 146, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at slot 154 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in the 176th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick253 Rnd7 Preston Hodge
No drama and no debate, Preston Hodge went about where he belonged in pick No. 253. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
