Draft Grade — Chiefs

Paul Jr. should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in the 219th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chiefs sat still while Chris Paul Jr., the No. 117 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cost of the Thornton Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Spending an early pick on safety with tight end, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to pick 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 66 leaves tight end, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick95 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rylie Mills in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in slot 219, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A need, and now a little less of one.
