Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Williams from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kyle Williams, the No. 201 name on the board, stolen at the 257th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 63 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at the 66th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to slot 95 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
The board had O'Donnell Fortune higher than pick No. 133, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 226th overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Somehow Kyle Williams was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 41, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
