Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Chiefs: C.

The Chiefs treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 31 on Tyler Loop a full 275 spots early. The final tally is a middling C.

Wells Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Spending an early pick on specialist with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Loop
A want over a need in the 31st pick: Tyler Loop adds a specialist while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick63 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 63 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A reach on Jordan Phillips in the 95th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at slot 132 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Taking Antwane Wells Jr. in pick No. 256 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
