Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureC
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chiefs.

The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still glaring, the Chiefs used the 102nd pick on Khyree Jackson, a cornerback they were not exactly short of.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trade work was a quiet net positive. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A tidy little value on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 71 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Khyree Jackson, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 134 with a little surplus value in Ben Sinnott. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the 159th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They took Layden Robinson at par in No. 173, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
