Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Nobody had Vernon Broughton this high, and it is not close. The Chiefs reached 44 spots to get him at the 95th pick.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. That Mbow pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In pick 31 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marcus Mbow at the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarr Norman-Lott. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
A wild overpay on Vernon Broughton in pick No. 95, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
A slide stopped in No. 132, with Tahj Brooks worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Value with a capital V on Hunter Wohler in the 256th pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
