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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched Jaylin Noel slide 195 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The quarterback 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In No. 31 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at Round 2, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 66 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in pick No. 95 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Armand Membou
They robbed the room for Armand Membou here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 226th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Shemar Turner
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Shemar Turner reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jaylin Noel
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 257th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
