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

The Chiefs bet big and early on Cedric Johnson, 54 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Nothing to complain about; Kingsley Suamataia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Anthony Gould
A conviction pick on Anthony Gould at pick 132 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Jefferson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
A wild overpay on Cedric Johnson in slot 173, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A reach on Joshua Cephus in pick 252; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
