Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Pearl: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Julian Pearl, the No. 204 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 252nd pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 32nd overall pick they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton slid further than he should have, and slot 66 is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Fair-plus on Javon Baker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick 135, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Value with a capital V on Jamari Thrash in pick No. 138, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan is a better player than Round 5, Pick 23 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Davis in No. 173. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
