Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jawhar Jordan at the 203rd overall pick, a reach of 96 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Legette value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 57 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the 125th pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick167 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, T.J. Sanders a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in the 171st overall pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
A big swing on Tahj Brooks at Round 5, Pick 39, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in the 203rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gavin Bartholomew well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
