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

When a board-topper like Dominic Lovett slides to the 252nd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.

They are betting Ford proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A slide stopped in pick 63, with Kris Jenkins worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in slot 94, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in the 163rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at No. 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 175th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 209 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick252 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
