Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Paul from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Patrick Paul, No. 95, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Jefferson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 64 with a little surplus value in Ricky Pearsall. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at slot 132, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brennan Jackson in the 159th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Jefferson a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
By-the-book stuff, Miyan Williams at Round 7, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
