Draft Grade — Chiefs

Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Chiefs steal Monangai and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kyle Monangai got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at pick 256.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
They paid sticker price for Jalen Royals in pick 63, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in Round 3, Pick 31 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kyle Monangai in pick No. 256, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
