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

Nobody else had Gavin Bartholomew anywhere near slot 203. The Chiefs did, by 63 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Landing Smith that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Jonathon Brooks at No. 57, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brenden Rice. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Braden Fiske
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braden Fiske in Round 4, Pick 25, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
The board fumbled Tykee Smith all the way to pick 167, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
They liked T.J. Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in the 171st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 175th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203 Rnd6 Gavin Bartholomew
A big swing on Gavin Bartholomew at No. 203, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
