Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Jonathon Brooks, 39 picks ahead of schedule.

With tight end, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on TE-EDGE is the choice that costs them. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Lynn Polk went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A curious use of slot 131. Tight end, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jonathon Brooks
A real head-scratcher, Jonathon Brooks in the 158th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Adams a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 175 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
