Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
TeSlaa should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Isaac TeSlaa, the No. 233 name on the board, stolen at slot 251. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Cross III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Cameron Williams at No. 63, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A conviction pick on Elijah Arroyo at the 66th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Winston Jr. in the 95th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick133 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hollin Pierce. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaac TeSlaa reach Round 7, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at slot 257 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
