Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Chiefs walked right past. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Every board in the league had Jacobs lower, and that gap is the story. That Oladapo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In slot 29 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They jumped the gun on Brenden Rice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick 92 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 129th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 161 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 171 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
They did well to land Nathan Thomas in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Omar Speights
A tidy little value on Omar Speights in Round 6, Pick 32, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
