Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs spent real capital to be 27 picks early on Matthew Jones, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That Oladapo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in pick 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They went early on Theo Johnson in No. 137, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylen Wright in Round 5, Pick 25. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They read the board right and Kitan Oladapo was the payoff at the 171st pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 39 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 206 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg at slot 249 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
