Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Vernon Broughton, 47 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Watts pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In the 32nd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 66 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in pick No. 96, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
A slide stopped in pick 132, with Tommi Hill worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
