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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Chiefs walked right past. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Lachey pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 31 they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at No. 63. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Williams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 31. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 133rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 226 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 John Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Williams. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in pick 257 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
