Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-.

The Mark Perry pick is the one that will follow the Chiefs into the fall. They took him 84 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 2, Pick 32 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 95th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
They jumped the gun on Nehemiah Pritchett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick159 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 159th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in No. 173 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Mark Perry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mark Perry in No. 252, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
