Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
Larceny in slot 222 lands the Chiefs a B-, Cowing and all.

When a board-topper like Jacob Cowing slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
They let Xavier Legette come to them and pounced at pick No. 31. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Sawyer at slot 63, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in No. 94 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in the 131st overall pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Good price on Jamari Thrash in the 144th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 5, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Taking Steve Linton in pick 202 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 222nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
