Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

Some picks age like wine; Cobee Bryant at Round 3, Pick 2 will need to, sitting 56 spots clear of his grade.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Burke pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, quarterback and other spots.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the 63rd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cobee Bryant
A big swing on Cobee Bryant at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 31. Tight end, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Denzel Burke did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at the 133rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ricky White III at pick No. 226 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 John Williams
They took John Williams at par in Round 7, Pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in No. 257 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
