Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Joshua Gray pick is the one that will follow the Chiefs into the fall. They took him 33 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Jacobs pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The board had cheaper options than Amarius Mims at Round 2, Pick 31, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They paid sticker price for Smael Mondon Jr. in the 94th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
They paid a round early for T.J. Sanders in the 131st pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They paid up for Devin Neal at slot 158 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
Value with a capital V on De'Corian Clark in pick 171, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick No. 175 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jestin Jacobs
Somehow Jestin Jacobs was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 34, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ Uiagalelei well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
