Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 210th overall pick lands the Chiefs a B-, Ulofoshio and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Edefuan Ulofoshio, the Round 6 slot, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged.

If Lindberg pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, quarterback and other spots. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They did well to land Brian Thomas Jr. in the 32nd pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at No. 64 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at slot 133 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in pick No. 158; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kitan Oladapo. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick210 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chad Lindberg well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
