Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jawhar Jordan at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 124 spots clear of his grade.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 25 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Sawyer in pick No. 57, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 89 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick167 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in the 167th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Gavin Bartholomew
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gavin Bartholomew well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in pick 175, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylon Carlies
They reached into another round for Jaylon Carlies, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
