Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Foster fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Javon Foster, the No. 133 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 171.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The cost of the Hall reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 26th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
The board fumbled Ladd McConkey all the way to No. 58, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 89th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 26 is lovely value for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Circle this one: Cole Bishop at slot 167 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
A slide stopped in pick No. 204, with Austin Stogner worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They will replay Sheridan Jones at No. 247 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
