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

The Chiefs' one glaring miss is tight end, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Lovett pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 64 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 132, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
No edge and no loss on Walter Rouse in the 159th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
A conviction pick on Fabien Lovett at the 173rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
