Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Jones should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a A-.

The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: Elijah Jones, the No. 193 name on the board, sitting there at the 252nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Solomon lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and linebacker still on the board.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Taking Terrion Arnold in the 49th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul slid further than he should have, and pick No. 80 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and linebacker to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick95 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Somehow Xavier Legette was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in the 108th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They paid sticker price for Matt Goncalves in pick 110, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slipping to No. 119 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dallin Holker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
A wild overpay on Brennan Jackson in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the 141st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick 179 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 203 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
They barely believed it either: Elijah Jones still on the board at slot 252. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
