Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Devonshire. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: M.J. Devonshire, No. 252, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Baker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 32nd pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Javon Baker
A reach on Javon Baker in pick 64; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Taking Blake Fisher in Round 3, Pick 32 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They let Jarrian Jones come to them and pounced at No. 132. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick159 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick No. 159 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in slot 173: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
