Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Golden. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched Matthew Golden slide 49 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Sanders proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
The board had Jahdae Barron higher than the Round 1 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Somehow Matthew Golden was still sitting there in the 63rd pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Value with a capital V on Harold Fannin Jr. in the 66th overall pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Phillips reach pick 133 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 187 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac TeSlaa at slot 226, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board had cheaper options than Hayden Conner at No. 251, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They talked themselves into Shilo Sanders at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
