Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-

Grand theft in the 116th overall pick: the Chiefs steal Shelton and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Drew Shelton got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at slot 116. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Thomas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In pick 15 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ty Simpson
A tidy little value on Ty Simpson in Round 2, Pick 14, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at the 77th overall pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at the 116th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
They paid sticker price for Iapani Laloulu in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Good price on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick No. 178, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
