Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 226: the Chiefs steal Edwards and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Donovan Edwards slides to the 226th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In No. 31 they get a seam-stretching tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Cameron Williams at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
By-the-book stuff, Omarr Norman-Lott at the 66th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Good price on Charles Grant in slot 95, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane slipping to pick 133 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to pick No. 226, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
They let Mac McWilliams come to them and pounced at the 251st pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They went early on Hayden Conner in Round 7, Pick 41, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
