Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Taylor. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Mason Taylor slides to the 192nd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Emeka Egbuka in the 51st overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Steal is underselling it; Kenneth Grant at pick No. 64 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
A conviction pick on Kyle Kennard at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at No. 85 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick96 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 96 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 192nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in pick 203 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
