Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Watson should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Nathaniel Watson sat on the board until slot 252, and the Chiefs did not need to be asked twice.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Lovett to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A clean, defensible pick in the 38th overall pick with a little surplus value in Troy Franklin. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 64, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A slide stopped in the 95th pick, with Brandon Dorlus worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach for Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in slot 159. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
A premium they did not need to pay, Fabien Lovett a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 252 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
