Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Knox at the 252nd overall pick, a reach of 24 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Bullard to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Javon Bullard
In No. 31 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 63 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in Round 3, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Rogers. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 163 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tre Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Tre Harris at the 171st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at slot 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
By-the-book stuff, Jake Briningstool at the 209th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Value said wait; Trey Knox in pick No. 252 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
