Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Iamaleava is the plan now, and the Chiefs grade out a B-.

The Chiefs spent the pick that matters most on Nico Iamaleava, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will need Carter to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nico Iamaleava
In the 29th pick they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A safety of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 29 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick93 Rnd3 Terrance Carter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Terrance Carter. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
You do not let an offensive lineman like Caleb Tiernan reach pick No. 116 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at No. 207 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Dijon Johnson
They paid sticker price for Dijon Johnson in the 212th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick242 Rnd7 Semaj Morgan
By-the-book stuff, Semaj Morgan at pick 242 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Zach Rice
They reached a country mile for Zach Rice at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
