Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice tight end is still a hole. The Chiefs never got to the one that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That Kiner pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Every board in the league had Porter lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 31 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Darius Alexander at the 95th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at No. 133 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
No edge and no loss on Bilhal Kone in the 226th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
They let Corey Kiner come to them and pounced at pick No. 251. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. is a better player than slot 257 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
