Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chiefs worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Elijah Roberts as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watts.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Derrick Harmon in the 40th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in pick No. 66, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 70 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 98 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at Round 5, Pick 12 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Value said wait; Jack Kiser in slot 151 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
