Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Lovett fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dominic Lovett tumbling to the Chiefs in pick 247 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the 89th pick leaves quarterback, running back and other spots for later.
Pick126 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick167 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They robbed the room for Nehemiah Pritchett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick171 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson is a better player than pick 171 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in pick No. 175 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 204th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
They will replay Dominic Lovett at the 247th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
