Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Chiefs did not. Hayden Hatten went at No. 249, a good 73 picks before the board was ready. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Barner. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In the 28th overall pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all.
Pick64 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 64 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 91 on Maason Smith with quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in No. 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cedric Johnson
They paid up for Cedric Johnson at Round 4, Pick 34 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in pick 171, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in slot 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick206 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They robbed the room for AJ Barner here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A wild overpay on Hayden Hatten in No. 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
