Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

Nobody else had Dominic Lovett anywhere near slot 257. The Chiefs did, by 119 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Amos steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In slot 31 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Trey Amos
The board had Trey Amos higher than Round 2, Pick 31, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to No. 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Nice patience on Ozzy Trapilo, who had no business lasting to the 95th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
They paid sticker price for Kurtis Rourke in the 133rd overall pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in pick 215 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
They talked themselves into Dominic Lovett at Round 7, Pick 41, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
