Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Judkins. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinshon Judkins slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 31. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ersery reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in the 64th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in Round 3, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the 96th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach pick 132 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
