Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Stewart fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched Josaiah Stewart slide 227 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

It is not that Emmanwori is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 32 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Steal is underselling it; Jahdae Barron at the 64th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Nick Emmanwori adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at the 133rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
