Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent the Round 4 slot on Emery Jones Jr., a name most had 48 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 31 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 31, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 66th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Fair-plus on Tai Felton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A big swing on Emery Jones Jr. at the 131st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
