Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Chiefs. For now, C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Junior Tafuna; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 105 spots ahead at pick No. 226. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 63 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at the 66th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
They talked themselves into Joshua Farmer at the 95th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Junior Tafuna
They reached into another round for Junior Tafuna, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at the 251st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
You do not let a cornerback like Jermari Harris reach slot 257 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
