Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 252. The Chiefs jumped the board by 27 and dared it to prove them wrong. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Chiefs indulged a want in Smith while a need in tight end, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Oladapo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 32nd overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A tidy little value on Malachi Corley in slot 64, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 32: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while tight end, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick132 Rnd4 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They read the board right and Mason McCormick was the payoff at pick 159. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in No. 173 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 252 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
