Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 133 lands the Chiefs a B-, Felton and all.

Call it larceny. Tai Felton sat on the board until pick No. 133, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Mbow proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Marcus Mbow
In pick 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Good price on Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 2, Pick 31, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They jumped the gun on Elijah Arroyo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sebastian Castro in slot 95. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tai Felton
The board fumbled Tai Felton all the way to the 133rd pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Howard Cross III
A clean, defensible pick in No. 226 with a little surplus value in Howard Cross III. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Value with a capital V on Corey Kiner in the 251st overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A premium they did not need to pay, Torricelli Simpkins III a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
