Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureC+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B-.

The war room fell hard for Donovan Jackson, and it showed at the 31st overall pick: 35 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Lambert-Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Donovan Jackson
In slot 31 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
No edge and no loss on Jalen Royals in pick No. 63; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No drama and no debate, Omarr Norman-Lott went about where he belonged in No. 66. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They took Ashton Gillotte at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Trevor Etienne
A conviction pick on Trevor Etienne at the 133rd pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at Round 7, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
