Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Hayden Hatten, 74 picks ahead of schedule.

On value alone, Clark makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick No. 26 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dallin Holker
A big swing on Dallin Holker at slot 89, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 26: Cedric Gray for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the 168th pick, where Layden Robinson graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade slipping to pick No. 171 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Schrader this early at No. 204. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, De'Corian Clark in pick 227, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Hatten in the 247th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
