Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chiefs torched the value chart for Walter Rouse, taking him 51 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Wilson at that price is a win they earned.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 29th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick 61 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is a better player than No. 92 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Brennan Jackson a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They went early on Michael Barrett in pick No. 175, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Walter Rouse well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dwight McGlothern. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
