Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Chiefs got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Chiefs took Akheem Mesidor a full 45 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love slid further than he should have, and the 18th pick is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick29 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
No edge and no loss on Ja'Kobi Lane in the 49th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Akheem Mesidor
They talked themselves into Akheem Mesidor at slot 93, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Taking Chandler Rivers in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at pick No. 117 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Value said wait; Vincent Anthony Jr. in the 153rd pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
Nothing to complain about; Aaron Graves went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
A reasonable price with a little left over, Monroe Mills in slot 188. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
