Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chiefs did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The cost of the Barron reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They jumped the gun on Adonai Mitchell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 131st pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 163rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
A conviction pick on Jahdae Barron at pick 171 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Landon Jackson at slot 209, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at pick 252 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
