olharper DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs

Draft Grade — Chiefs

FutureB-
The Chiefs let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Call it larceny. McKinnley Jackson sat on the board until the Round 5 slot, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Taylor III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 32nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64
Rnd2
DJ James
A slide stopped in pick 64, with DJ James worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
The board had cheaper options than Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 95, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in slot 132, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, McKinnley Jackson in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at No. 173 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick252
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio is a better player than the 252nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
