Rice DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs

Draft Grade — Chiefs

Larceny in the Round 2 slot lands the Chiefs a B, Braswell and all. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Chris Braswell, slot 64, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. 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
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 95th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Jarrian Jones at Round 4, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick159
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
The board had Mason McCormick higher than No. 159, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
A slide stopped in the 173rd overall pick, with Walter Rouse worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
They took Kimani Vidal at par in pick 252, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
