Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall

FutureB+
The Chiefs let Stewart fall into their laps, and walked away with a C. Call it larceny. Josaiah Stewart sat on the board until No. 233, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Hit on Tyler Warren and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at slot 35 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick No. 66 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 95th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109
Rnd4
Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the 109th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at Round 4, Pick 18 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at pick 129. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
You do not let a wide receiver like Jayden Higgins reach No. 133 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141
Rnd5
Darien Porter
The board fumbled Darien Porter all the way to the 141st pick, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick148
Rnd5
Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at No. 148 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149
Rnd5
Wyatt Milum
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 149th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in pick 170 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at slot 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178
Rnd6
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 6, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179
Rnd6
Aireontae Ersery
They robbed the room for Aireontae Ersery here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212
Rnd6
Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in pick No. 212, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 233rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Azareye'h Thomas
They will replay Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 239 for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick240
Rnd7
Dylan Fairchild
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dylan Fairchild reach No. 240 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251
Rnd7
Kyle Kennard
Somehow Kyle Kennard was still sitting there in the 251st overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
David Walker
Taking David Walker in slot 257 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
