Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 63 lands the Chiefs a B, Walker and all.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jalon Walker fell into the Round 2 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than slot 66, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in No. 95, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 133rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 10 is lovely value for the tight end. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in pick 251, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick257 Rnd7 John Williams
The board had cheaper options than John Williams at the 257th overall pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
