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

The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot regardless, 36 picks early. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 47th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick64 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in pick No. 64, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 69 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They did well to land Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 6, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at slot 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
A big swing on Theo Johnson at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They jumped the gun on Cedric Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They talked themselves into Johnny Wilson at slot 105, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in the 110th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Eboigbe this early at No. 114. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Cornelius Johnson in pick 160 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern is a better player than the 173rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick176 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at the 176th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in Round 6, Pick 14 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
