Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chiefs turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Chiefs spent real capital to be 33 picks early on Matthew Jones, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while tight end, quarterback and other spots went begging. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Latham pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 63 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in the 97th pick leaves tight end, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 131 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
No drama and no debate, Cedric Johnson went about where he belonged in the 161st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They liked Michael Barrett enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 171. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A wild overpay on Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick No. 209 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 252nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
