Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kendall Milton at the 120th pick regardless, 82 picks early. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Newton is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 38th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 50 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They paid a round early for Bralen Trice in slot 53, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 68 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 69th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 74 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A big swing on Christian Mahogany at pick No. 79, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at the 89th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Gray. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in Round 3, Pick 32, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Josh Newton
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Josh Newton while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the 120th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern is a better player than pick 171 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ryan Flournoy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ryan Flournoy this early at Round 5, Pick 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at the 173rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
