Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and tight end got none. That is a strange way for the Chiefs to leave a draft.

The Bertrand steal is the beam this whole class leans on. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

The veteran additions, Artie Burns chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 64th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 102 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 137 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 159. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick173 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 37. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JD Bertrand at the 235th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bub Means
Good price on Bub Means in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
