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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Chiefs walked right past.

The Boyd pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They banked enough surplus on Fautanu to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 3 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
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 32nd overall pick they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Good price on Ricky Pearsall in No. 64, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in pick 95; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jarrian Jones. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick159 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at the 159th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
