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

Thirty-one other rooms let Ricky Pearsall slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at No. 95. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 32 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Fair-plus on Kingsley Suamataia, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Taking Ricky Pearsall in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton is a better player than the 132nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They read the board right and Dallin Holker was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 23. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to the 173rd pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick252 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
You do not let an offensive lineman like Nathan Thomas reach slot 252 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
