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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 95, a reach of 48 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

However the rest shakes out, Watts at that price is a win they earned. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 31 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in Round 3, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 95 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick 133 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
