Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Sanders: B.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Sanders fell into the 251st pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to slot 63, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the 66th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at Round 3, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at No. 133 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in the 226th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in pick 251 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 257 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
