Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Gordon II: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at No. 255 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slipping to slot 32 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 64 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 68th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A quiet steal in No. 96: Deontae Lawson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They did well to land Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to Round 7, Pick 39, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
