Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chiefs spent Round 4, Pick 31 on Dont'e Thornton Jr., a name the board had a full 45 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Knight Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 64 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Andrew Mukuba with tight end, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick96 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Taking Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 96 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 132nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
