Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureA-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Burke from sliding. Grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Denzel Burke, the No. 89 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Barham has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick95 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Deone Walker in the 95th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at No. 128 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 132 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick181 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in Round 6, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the 185th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in slot 194 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Taking Kyle Williams in slot 256 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
