Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jayden Higgins, the 95th pick, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged.

Spending an early pick on safety with tight end, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 31st overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jayden Higgins in pick 95, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A want over a need in the 132nd pick: Lathan Ransom adds a safety while tight end, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick256 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
The board fumbled Teddye Buchanan all the way to slot 256, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
