Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

Call it larceny. Jaydon Blue sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 40, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Travis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. With tight end, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 31 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Fair-plus on Alfred Collins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 68th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in No. 95 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
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 tight end, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in Round 5, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They will replay Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue in slot 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at pick No. 226. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in pick 251 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.
Pick257 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Craig Woodson in No. 257, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
