Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Chiefs walked out of the weekend still thin at tight end, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They are betting Wingo proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reach for Xavier Legette in No. 64; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They went early on Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 95, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Simpson in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick159 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 159th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 173rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
