Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chiefs spent the 206th pick on Jake Briningstool, a name the board had a full 49 spots lower. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Gentry falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In No. 28 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A big swing on Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at pick 128 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They took Tyler Batty at par in pick No. 161, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A tidy little value on Jonah Monheim in the 171st pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in No. 175 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
They reached a country mile for Jake Briningstool at the 206th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They read the board right and Eric Gentry was the payoff at the 249th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
