FutureB-
Thornton Jr. should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B. The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 185 name on the board, sitting there at pick 226 like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In pick No. 31 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They paid sticker price for Wyatt Milum in the 63rd pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 2 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 95 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King at No. 133 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They will replay Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 226th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at slot 251 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick257
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
The board had Bilhal Kone higher than the Round 7 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
