Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Javon Solomon selection is the head-turner. The Chiefs reached 38 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in the 64th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in Round 3, Pick 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They did well to land Malik Washington in No. 100, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in slot 111 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 123rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent slot 133 on Josh Newton, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at pick 158 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 172nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
