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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Garrett Dellinger at slot 257, a reach of 36 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

It is not that Parrish is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

However the rest shakes out, Taylor at that price is a win they earned.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 31 they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in the 63rd pick, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They reached a country mile for Charles Grant at slot 66, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in No. 95 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jacob Parrish adds a cornerback and leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in pick No. 226, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A conviction pick on Marcus Yarns at slot 251 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Dellinger well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
