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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chiefs spent the 133rd overall pick on Elijah Roberts, a name the board had a full 50 spots lower. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, Hunter makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They will replay Tyler Booker at slot 63 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 95 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A big swing on Elijah Roberts at pick No. 133, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
They barely believed it either: Jarquez Hunter still on the board at the 226th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They let Carson Vinson come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A real head-scratcher, Jacory Croskey-Merritt in pick No. 257 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
