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

The war room fell hard for Gabe Jacas, and it showed at the 74th pick: 28 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In pick 9 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at the 40th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at slot 74 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at pick No. 112 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Blake Miller
The board had Blake Miller higher than Round 5, Pick 8, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Albert Regis in the 177th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon slipping to pick 228 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
