Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped King from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kalen King had no business being available in the 172nd pick, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slipping to the 32nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A quiet steal in the 64th pick: T.J. Tampa for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick95 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They barely believed it either: Will Shipley still on the board at Round 4, Pick 33. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Johnny Wilson reach slot 158 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kalen King
They will replay Kalen King at pick 172 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
