Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice tight end is still a hole. The Chiefs never got to the one that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Getting Smith where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 32nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in the 64th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson slid further than he should have, and pick 95 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in slot 132 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in Round 5, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tykee Smith at pick No. 173. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kimani Vidal. The roster fit checks out.
