Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 252: the Chiefs steal Harden and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched Myles Harden slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Jefferson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 32nd overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick No. 64 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Steal is underselling it; Patrick Paul at slot 95 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in No. 132; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A tidy bit of business in pick 159, where Jacob Cowing graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They liked Jordan Jefferson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 37. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Myles Harden
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
