D-
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chiefs, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
The Cole reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
In No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in the 52nd overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Cole Bishop at Round 3, Pick 32 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They paid up for Matt Goncalves at the 100th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 121. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They jumped the gun on Isaiah Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Luke McCaffrey in pick 158 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Myles Cole at pick 197 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Trevin Wallace in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
