Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Marcus Dumervil as overpay for him, 75 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fannin Jr.. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Nice patience on Harold Fannin Jr., who had no business lasting to the 63rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slipping to slot 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 31 with a little surplus value in Denzel Burke. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Fair-plus on Kyren Lacy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Marcus Dumervil
Marcus Dumervil in pick No. 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
