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

The Chiefs treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 257th pick on Montrell Johnson Jr. a full 37 spots early.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 31 they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slipping to slot 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A slide stopped in pick 66, with Azareye'h Thomas worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 31. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 226th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Roc Taylor at No. 251 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Montrell Johnson Jr.
Montrell Johnson Jr. in pick No. 257 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
