Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for AJ Barner, 26 picks ahead of schedule.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jenkins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 32nd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 64 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
They went early on Dylan Laube in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Good price on Jaylin Simpson in slot 158, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick172 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They reached into another round for AJ Barner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick No. 210 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Cephus in pick 250. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
