Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B.

The war room fell hard for Shilo Sanders, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 41: 30 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Warren pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 31 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 63rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
By-the-book stuff, Cameron Williams at slot 66 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal slid further than he should have, and pick No. 95 is lovely value for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 31: Dorian Strong for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They paid sticker price for Isaac TeSlaa in the 226th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
No drama and no debate, Tonka Hemingway went about where he belonged in pick 251. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at the 257th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
