Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Chiefs steal Magee and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Jordan Magee, the No. 222 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 252. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 64th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They liked Maason Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 32. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to the 159th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
A tidy little value on Nelson Ceaser in slot 173, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
They barely believed it either: Jordan Magee still on the board at pick No. 252. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
