Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Khyree Jackson; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 23 spots ahead at the Round 3 slot. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

With quarterback and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Ja'Tavion Sanders
In the 31st pick they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They took Brian Thomas Jr. at par in No. 63, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A surprising call. With quarterback and linebacker still to address, they spent the 94th overall pick on Khyree Jackson, a defensive back they were not short of.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They went early on Darius Robinson in pick 131, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Will Shipley
A straight-up fair deal on Will Shipley at slot 158, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Gerald Mincey
A premium they did not need to pay, Gerald Mincey a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at Round 5, Pick 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
