Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Neal from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Devin Neal got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at No. 209. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will answer for taking defensive back early while interior defensive lineman and edge rusher went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 31 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman and edge rusher still to address, they spent No. 63 on Cooper DeJean, a defensive back they were not short of.
Pick97 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in slot 97, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
They did well to land Ricky Pearsall in Round 4, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
A tidy little value on MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Value with a capital V on Jack Nelson in the 163rd pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 171 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 209th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Devin Leary
No edge and no loss on Devin Leary in the 252nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
