Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

The Chiefs' one glaring miss is tight end, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 29th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in pick 61, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 92nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 129 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at slot 161, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in pick No. 175, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Christian Jones for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
By-the-book stuff, Dwight McGlothern at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
