Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Chiefs walked out of the weekend still thin at tight end, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If Amegadjie pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Odunze. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They jumped the gun on Kiran Amegadjie, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 167 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 171 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick175 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
Good price on Braden Fiske in the 175th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They paid up for De'Corian Clark at Round 6, Pick 28 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
