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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chiefs shredded theirs for Bhayshul Tuten. He came off 58 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Winston Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. It is not that Winston Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 31 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid up for Jayden Higgins at Round 2, Pick 31 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They reached a country mile for Charles Grant at pick No. 66, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bhayshul Tuten
They reached into another round for Bhayshul Tuten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of No. 132. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A quiet steal in pick 256: Jackson Hawes for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
