Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Carson should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched Caelen Carson slide 41 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They robbed the room for Jordan Morgan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 95th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick 133 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at the 158th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
