Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Whittington fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan Whittington, the No. 189 name on the board, stolen at No. 209.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Bartholomew reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 31st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 63rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Lynn Polk at slot 94 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Connor Colby
Good price on Connor Colby in pick No. 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Jo'Quavious Marks for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than pick 171 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
The board had Moose Muhammad III higher than No. 175, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
Circle this one: Jordan Whittington at Round 6, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
They liked Gavin Bartholomew enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 252. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
