Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody had Logan Brown this high, and it is not close. The Chiefs reached 94 spots to get him at pick 63. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

Getting Loveland where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on T.J. Sanders that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
In the 31st overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick63 Rnd2 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 63rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at pick No. 68 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Emery Jones Jr. in Round 3, Pick 31 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A straight-up fair deal on Rylie Mills at slot 132, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
A reach for Duce Chestnut in pick 255; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
