Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent pick 32 on Xavier Worthy, a name most had 24 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In pick No. 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They went early on Xavier Legette in the 64th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at No. 95 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
No edge and no loss on Dallin Holker in the 158th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in Round 5, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They let Trey Knox come to them and pounced at pick No. 252. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
