Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Thornton Jr. from sliding. Grade: D.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at slot 256. Highway robbery.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on safety with tight end, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Reaching for Brown left real value on the table behind him.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 10th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots to take Andrew Mukuba, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick95 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 95th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick 132 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to No. 256, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
