Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 6, Pick 34 lands the Chiefs a B-, Smith and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ainias Smith tumbling to the Chiefs in pick 209 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Suamataia reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kingsley Suamataia
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A reach on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 63; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Guyton at No. 131, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They went early on Devin Neal in pick 163, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 171st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Taking Ainias Smith in slot 209 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ricky White
Ricky White at slot 252 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
