Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

The Chiefs clearly saw something nobody else did in Matthew Jones, taking him 40 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Amegadjie where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy little value on Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 1, Pick 32, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in the 95th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 158 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 172nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in Round 6, Pick 35 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dwight McGlothern. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
