Grade: A-

Best Pick: WR Jalen Royals, No. 133 Overall

What We Liked: The Chiefs managed to solve their offensive tackle problem thanks to the fall of Josh Simmons, which feels reminiscent of the Trey Smith pick from 2021. As usual, the Chiefs are playing to consensus, picking up talented fallers such as Royals and Ashton Gillotte, who have the production and athleticism to become quick starters. The Chiefs are sticking to the strategy that turned them into perennial Super Bowl contenders. Good stuff.

Not Sure About: That Omarr Norman-Lott pick feels like a disaster waiting to happen. It’s hard to trust a player who isn’t taking a majority of the snaps for his defense, and to take him on Day 2 is suspect. Also, Jeffrey Bassa strikes me as a nothing burger player with limited upside and is not someone who projects to have a role starting anytime soon or even a role on special teams.
