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

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kobe Hudson fell into the 256th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 31st pick they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They let Aireontae Ersery come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to pick No. 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 95 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in slot 132, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kobe Hudson in Round 7, Pick 38, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
