Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Jimmy Horn Jr., 48 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. On value alone, Jackson makes the weekend a net positive.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They did well to land Tre Harris in slot 64, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 69 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
They paid a round early for Nazir Stackhouse in No. 96, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They read the board right and Domani Jackson was the payoff at the 128th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They reached a country mile for Jack Kiser at pick No. 193, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
They reached into another round for Jarquez Hunter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
