Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B-.

Nobody else had Jack Nelson anywhere near pick 133. The Chiefs did, by 46 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Nolen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 63 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at No. 66 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
They reached into another round for Jacob Parrish, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 133rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kitan Crawford. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
A wild overpay on Ethan Downs in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Montrell Johnson Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Montrell Johnson Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
