Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B-.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Roman Wilson, 23 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Davis steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 6 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
Pick31 Rnd1 Johnny Wilson
In the 31st overall pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Blake Corum
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Corum at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Value said wait; Roman Wilson in Round 3, Pick 31 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
They paid a round early for Jack Nelson in No. 131, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ray Davis
Value with a capital V on Ray Davis in slot 163, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 171st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at No. 175 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at the 209th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in pick 252 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
