Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Ferguson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Terrance Ferguson tumbling to the Chiefs in No. 255 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 32nd pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Royals at the 68th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A quiet steal in slot 96: Barrett Carter for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill is a better player than pick 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick255 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 255, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
