Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 226th overall pick lands the Chiefs a B, Brooks and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tahj Brooks at the 226th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Belton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 31st overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Value with a capital V on TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 31, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jayden Higgins at pick No. 66. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Nothing to complain about; Cody Simon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in pick 226 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 251 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
They barely believed it either: Dante Trader Jr. still on the board at the 257th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
