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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chiefs did exactly that with Javon Solomon in the 82nd overall pick.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and interior defensive lineman. However the rest shakes out, Eboigbe at that price is a win they earned. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 46 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 64 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 18: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback and interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A tidy bit of business in No. 133, where Justin Eboigbe graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in the 139th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in No. 158. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They liked Michael Barrett enough to skip the value, taking him in the 172nd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A conviction pick on Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 18 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
