Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
The Chiefs lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chiefs shredded theirs for Oronde Gadsden II. He came off 49 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Thornton Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Josh Simmons that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarr Norman-Lott. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Value with a capital V on Andrew Mukuba in slot 95, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in pick 133 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They talked themselves into Oronde Gadsden II at the 148th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach the 217th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in pick No. 233, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached a country mile for Nick Martin at No. 257, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
