Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Fannin Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Harold Fannin Jr. fell into pick 95.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Donovan Jackson
In the 31st overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Sanders at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 95th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 133 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
