Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Chiefs will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If Arroyo pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 31 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
They paid sticker price for Jalen Royals in Round 2, Pick 31, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They liked Elijah Arroyo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 66. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Charles Grant in the 95th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
