Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like Jermaine Burton slides to slot 91, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Reaching for Barrett left real value on the table behind him. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at Round 1, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A slide stopped in the 60th pick, with Denzel Burke worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
You do not let a wide receiver like Jermaine Burton reach Round 3, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 161 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in slot 171. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick175 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Theo Wease Jr. at No. 175 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They jumped the gun on Dwight McGlothern, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at the 249th pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
