Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

The Chiefs lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C- in the wash.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Boyd pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
You do not let a linebacker like Edgerrin Cooper reach Round 2, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in pick 74, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They robbed the room for Cooper Beebe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 133rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson slipping to the 142nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick158 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A real head-scratcher, Khristian Boyd in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 36 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
