Draft Grade — Chiefs

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chiefs and Wells Jr.: B.

The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: Antwane Wells Jr., the No. 199 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 41 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
A reasonable price with a little left over, Colston Loveland in the Round 1 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in pick 63. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They robbed the room for Isaiah Bond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at pick No. 133 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ajani Cornelius
They barely believed it either: Ajani Cornelius still on the board at Round 7, Pick 10. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 251st pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Taking Antwane Wells Jr. in No. 257 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
