Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B.

The Chiefs' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will need Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A clean, defensible pick in slot 60 with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in No. 128, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 161st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty'Ron Hopper. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 39 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
