Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

The Chiefs clearly saw something nobody else did in Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him 42 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hunter. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at No. 31. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They went early on Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 63, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reach on Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar Turner this early at the 95th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 132, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in the 256th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
