Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B-.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Donovan Jackson, 19 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Frazier that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 31 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A conviction pick on Elijah Arroyo at No. 66 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick 95 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick132 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 132nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A slide stopped in slot 256, with Miles Frazier worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
