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

The Chiefs spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tahj Washington, the No. 188 name on the board, in pick No. 252.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in slot 33 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 64 with a little surplus value in Kingsley Suamataia. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky Pearsall reach No. 95 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
Taking DJ James in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in Round 4, Pick 32 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A slide stopped in the 159th overall pick, with Mason McCormick worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick 173 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Circle this one: Tahj Washington at the 252nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
