Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nubin should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tyler Nubin, the No. 30 name on the board, stolen at No. 64. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Capehart proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Byron Murphy II at pick 32 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 133 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nothing to complain about; Kitan Oladapo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick210 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Michael Barrett in No. 210, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 7, Pick 30 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
