Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Jacory Croskey-Merritt, 32 picks ahead of schedule.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Fair-plus on Jayden Higgins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Ivey a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick No. 95 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at the 139th pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick 226 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt at slot 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
