Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chiefs fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Mason Reiger in the 109th pick, a good 41 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Stukes pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman still on the board. Rodriguez falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 9 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They did well to land Omar Cooper Jr. in the 40th pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Jacas a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
The board fumbled Jacob Rodriguez all the way to the 72nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Treydan Stukes adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at No. 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
Mason Reiger in Round 4, Pick 9 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malik Benson
They took Malik Benson at par in No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A reach on Aamil Wagner in slot 169; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
No edge and no loss on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick No. 176; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cole Payton in pick 210. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
