Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Chiefs drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chiefs, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCoy.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 65 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 171 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Justin Walley
Nothing to complain about; Justin Walley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy is a better player than slot 204 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
They did well to land Willie Roberts in pick No. 256, just ahead of his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
