Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Grant from sliding. Grade: D.

The Chiefs lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

They are betting Alexander proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Grant.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In the 32nd pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick36 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen is a better player than the 36th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Booker at pick No. 64 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They read the board right and Ajani Cornelius was the payoff at No. 68. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dasan McCullough
No edge and no loss on Dasan McCullough in slot 90; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
Value with a capital V on Nic Anderson in slot 96, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in the 128th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Riley Mahlman
They robbed the room for Riley Mahlman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zy Alexander. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
