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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dominic Lovett at pick 257, a reach of 124 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Warren to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 31st pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
No drama and no debate, Cameron Williams went about where he belonged in the 63rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 66, where TreVeyon Henderson graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 JJ Pegues
A big swing on JJ Pegues at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at slot 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
They reached a country mile for Dominic Lovett at the 257th pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
