Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sai'vion Jones, 44 picks early at the Round 3 slot. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Edwards pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 2, Pick 31 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 66th pick, where Harold Fannin Jr. graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in pick 98 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in slot 133 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at No. 155 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick224 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 224th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Nice patience on R.J. Mickens, who had no business lasting to slot 226. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A big swing on Kyren Lacy at pick No. 257, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
