Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Chiefs spent real capital to be 33 picks early on Maason Smith, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Laube. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at pick 54 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A clean, defensible pick in the 64th pick with a little surplus value in Ricky Pearsall. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 77 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 87 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Fisher in the 95th overall pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Value with a capital V on Josh Newton in pick No. 132, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick slid further than he should have, and the 159th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Laube at the 173rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They paid sticker price for Trevin Wallace in No. 229, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bub Means
No drama and no debate, Bub Means went about where he belonged in slot 243. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell in pick 252 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
