Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Taulia Tagovailoa, 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. On value alone, Eichenberg makes the weekend a net positive. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 32nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They went early on Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in the 132nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They read the board right and Tommy Eichenberg was the payoff at No. 159. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
This one needs a full-page explanation: Julian Pearl in pick 173, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 252nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
