Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Donovan Edwards at pick No. 95 regardless, 114 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Nelson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick 63 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Grey Zabel
You do not let an offensive lineman like Grey Zabel reach slot 66 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at No. 95 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They reached into another round for Mitchell Evans, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 10. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jackson Woodard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Woodard well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in Round 7, Pick 41 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
