Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on McKinstry: B.

The Chiefs spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kool-Aid McKinstry, the No. 19 name on the board, in Round 2, Pick 28. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 28 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board fumbled Kool-Aid McKinstry all the way to the 60th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Good price on Jaylen Wright in pick No. 161, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in Round 5, Pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Trey Knox
They took Trey Knox at par in the 175th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jalen Green
No drama and no debate, Jalen Green went about where he belonged in No. 206. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 249th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
