Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Roman Hemby, 62 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Delane pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In slot 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Bear Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bear Alexander this early at pick No. 64. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They paid a round early for Dani Dennis-Sutton in the 69th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
A slide stopped in the 128th pick, with Mansoor Delane worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick160 Rnd5 Roman Hemby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roman Hemby. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in slot 193 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They paid up for Jack Kiser at pick No. 224 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
