Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Watson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chiefs sat still while Blake Watson, the No. 226 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the 63rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than No. 94 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick No. 131 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Value with a capital V on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 161st overall pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
They jumped the gun on Ethan Driskell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A big swing on Christian Jones at slot 175, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 209 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
