Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chiefs let Allen fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: LeQuint Allen, the 213th overall pick, roughly 72 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Ransom pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to the 59th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 31: Tre Harris for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Good price on Azareye'h Thomas in pick 66, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal slipping to pick No. 95 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Lathan Ransom, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the 185th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
Circle this one: Mello Dotson at slot 205 is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at No. 213 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
They barely believed it either: Kobe Hudson still on the board at pick 245. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Taking Brant Kuithe in Round 7, Pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
