Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Chiefs: C+.

The Chiefs went off the board in a big way for Roman Hemby, 53 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Tre Harris and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In No. 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They jumped the gun on Dani Dennis-Sutton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Kandra a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Shavon Revel Jr.
A conviction pick on Shavon Revel Jr. at pick No. 96 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick129 Rnd5 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough in the 129th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 160 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 193rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in Round 7, Pick 32, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
