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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Richard Jibunor, 159 picks early at the 158th pick.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Oladapo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
They paid sticker price for Keon Coleman in the 32nd pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 64 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They did well to land Cam Hart in No. 95, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in slot 172 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
