Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Ricky Pearsall, 29 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging. The Tampa steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 25 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A slide stopped in the 57th overall pick, with T.J. Tampa worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
By-the-book stuff, Tyleik Williams at Round 3, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick167 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A straight-up fair deal on Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
A real head-scratcher, Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
No edge and no loss on Jack Nelson in slot 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell at No. 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
