Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chiefs took Javon Foster at the 99th pick, roughly 22 spots before his name belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Darius Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
By-the-book stuff, Devontez Walker at pick No. 64 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 99th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick 101 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 131 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick158 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in No. 158, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
No drama and no debate, Dwight McGlothern went about where he belonged in pick No. 172. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They took Joshua Cephus at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
