Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Chiefs let Grant fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chiefs took Roman Hemby at the Round 7 slot, roughly 35 spots before his name belonged.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Getting Grant where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer slipping to the 36th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at slot 53. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 32 with a little surplus value in Ajani Cornelius. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick 68 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough in pick No. 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
The board had Nic Anderson higher than slot 96, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Riley Mahlman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Riley Mahlman in the 128th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at Round 5, Pick 32 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Value said wait; Roman Hemby in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
