Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Umanmielen from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Princely Umanmielen had no business being available in pick 63, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Bowman Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen at the 63rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at the 66th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
