Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 244th pick lands the Chiefs a B, Flournoy and all.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 24 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chiefs sat still while Ryan Flournoy, the No. 203 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will need Shirden to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 32 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A clean, defensible pick in the 64th overall pick with a little surplus value in Ricky Pearsall. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They did well to land Javon Baker in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 132 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
The board had Dallin Holker higher than Round 5, Pick 23, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 174th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
They will replay Ryan Flournoy at slot 244 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
Jaden Shirden at pick No. 252 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
