Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 24: the Chiefs steal Giddens and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. DJ Giddens sat on the board until pick No. 200, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will answer for taking safety early while wide receiver, tight end and other spots went begging. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at the 33rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 63 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A premium they did not need to pay, Darien Porter a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With wide receiver, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent No. 95 on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick133 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in Round 4, Pick 31 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They barely believed it either: DJ Giddens still on the board at the 200th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Fadil Diggs
They paid sticker price for Fadil Diggs in slot 226, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at Round 7, Pick 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in slot 257 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
