Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Chiefs let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chiefs took Ryan Flournoy at the 172nd overall pick, roughly 33 spots before his name belonged.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Landing James that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 50th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at Round 2, Pick 21 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 64th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa is a better player than the 68th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 74 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in slot 79, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They went early on Zak Zinter in the 90th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 95 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent No. 101 on DJ James, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 3 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at Round 4, Pick 4 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach for Johnny Wilson in slot 109; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
A real head-scratcher, Kendall Milton in the 171st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in pick 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 173rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
