Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Chiefs treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 66th overall pick on Tez Johnson a full 29 spots early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Mukuba at that price is a win they earned.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy little value on Aireontae Ersery in pick 63, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tez Johnson in slot 66, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Taking Hollin Pierce in pick No. 131 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
