Draft Grade — Chiefs

Grand theft in No. 92: the Chiefs steal Tampa and grade out a B.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Tampa fell into the 92nd pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Reaching for Logue left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Somehow Tyler Guyton was still sitting there in pick No. 61, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, T.J. Tampa in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at No. 129 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Max Melton
Circle this one: Max Melton at the 161st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A reach on Curtis Jacobs in the 171st pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They read the board right and LaDarius Henderson was the payoff at pick 175. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zion Logue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A tidy little value on Mark Perry in the 250th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
