Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Chiefs won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Christian Jones in the 171st overall pick, a good 39 spots before the room expected him. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

With quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in No. 60. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at Round 4, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A wild overpay on Michael Barrett in the 168th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in slot 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Nice patience on Cedric Johnson, who had no business lasting to the 175th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rasheen Ali. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Williams went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Circle this one: Joshua Gray at No. 249 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
