Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let McConkey fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ladd McConkey got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at Round 2, Pick 32. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Boyd reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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 Round 1, Pick 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Somehow Ladd McConkey was still sitting there in No. 64, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 95 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the 159th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
They jumped the gun on Isaiah Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A premium they did not need to pay, Joshua Cephus a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
