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

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Lathan Ransom fell into pick 133.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The cost of the James reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 31 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They did well to land Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 63rd pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at No. 66, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A tidy little value on Savion Williams in Round 3, Pick 31, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 133 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226 Rnd7 Shemar James
They paid a round early for Shemar James in slot 226, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the 251st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They paid sticker price for Torricelli Simpkins III in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
