Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Darius Robinson, 23 picks early at the 175th pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Hadden pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 25th pick they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They paid sticker price for Jermaine Burton in pick 57, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in slot 89 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They liked Cade Stover enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 125. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 167th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tre Harris
A clean, defensible pick in No. 171 with a little surplus value in Tre Harris. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in the 175th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slid further than he should have, and pick No. 246 is lovely value for the cornerback. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
