Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Chiefs left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

They banked enough surplus on Mbow to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Belton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 31st pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Elijah Arroyo
A reach on Elijah Arroyo in pick 63; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow slipping to slot 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 95th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
