Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chiefs and Winston Jr.: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kevin Winston Jr. had no business being available in the 160th overall pick, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 31 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 63rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Carson Schwesinger at pick 95. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Fair-plus on Darius Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick182 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
The board fumbled RJ Harvey all the way to Round 6, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
