Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Horn Jr.: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jimmy Horn Jr., the No. 237 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. If Warren pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In No. 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
No edge and no loss on Colston Loveland in pick 64; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jabbar Muhammad
They took Jabbar Muhammad at par in Round 3, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Warren at pick No. 96, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in slot 133 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nick Martin
Nick Martin in the 168th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They robbed the room for Jimmy Horn Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
