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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jaydon Blue tumbling to the Chiefs in No. 216 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Travis pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. It is not that Parrish is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In No. 31 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They did well to land Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in pick 68. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Burch went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent No. 133 on Jacob Parrish, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick143 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They took Logan Brown at par in Round 5, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Taking Jaydon Blue in slot 216 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 226th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They robbed the room for Craig Woodson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
