Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 252 lands the Chiefs a B-, Harris and all.

When a board-topper like Tre Harris slides to No. 252, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.

They will need Roberts to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 31st overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Brian Thomas Jr. a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
A conviction pick on Tyleik Williams at the 94th pick that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A real head-scratcher, Malachi Moore in pick No. 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at Round 5, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at No. 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick175 Rnd5 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts in pick 175 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209 Rnd6 Robert Lewis
Robert Lewis in slot 209 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
