Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Bailey from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Emani Bailey, pick No. 250, roughly 52 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Jefferson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In slot 32 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They read the board right and Kiran Amegadjie was the payoff at pick No. 64. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 95th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at No. 133 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 5, Pick 22 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They liked Jordan Jefferson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 172. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Josh Proctor worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
They will replay Emani Bailey at the 250th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
