Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall

The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chiefs did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In pick No. 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
A reach on Chris Johnson in the 40th pick; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
