Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Matthew Jones at slot 172, a reach of 82 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 32nd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reach for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 32; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at the 95th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Eboigbe. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 158 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Sundell in No. 252 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
