Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs did not so much draft Nathaniel Watson as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Chiefs indulged a want in Stover while a need in tight end, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The Simpson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They took Jonathon Brooks at par in pick No. 61, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in slot 92 leaves tight end, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
They paid up for Kamal Hadden at Round 4, Pick 29 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They jumped the gun on Michael Barrett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They reached a country mile for Nathaniel Watson at No. 207, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in slot 211 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Walter Rouse. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Thomas at pick No. 250, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
