Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chiefs took Jacory Croskey-Merritt at Round 7, Pick 10, roughly 52 spots before his name belonged.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watts.

Spending an early pick on safety with tight end, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at No. 133, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A wild overpay on Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the 226th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They jumped the gun on Marcus Yarns, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
They read the board right and Theo Wease Jr. was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 41. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
