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

The Chiefs spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: De'Corian Clark, the No. 214 name on the board, in slot 246.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Amegadjie lower, and that gap is the story.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in pick 57, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They jumped the gun on Kiran Amegadjie, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
No drama and no debate, Gabriel Murphy went about where he belonged in No. 125. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tre Harris
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 35, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Nelson at the 175th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts at the 203rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They robbed the room for De'Corian Clark here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
