Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chiefs did exactly that with Matthew Jones in pick 207.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 29th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Nice patience on Patrick Paul, who had no business lasting to slot 61. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A big swing on Darius Robinson at the 92nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at pick No. 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 207th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
No drama and no debate, Eric Gentry went about where he belonged in the 250th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
