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

The Chiefs torched the value chart for Cobee Bryant, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Emmanwori at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on cornerback with wide receiver, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 63rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Good price on Azareye'h Thomas in pick 66, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick95 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 95th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Cobee Bryant while clear needs at wide receiver, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 256 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
