Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched Jaydon Blue slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Travis pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Parrish is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick No. 31 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Good price on Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 31, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in pick No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Fair-plus on Jordan Burch, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jacob Parrish in pick 133 leaves tight end, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick143 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They paid sticker price for Logan Brown in the 143rd overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 213th pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at Round 6, Pick 40 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They robbed the room for Craig Woodson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
