Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Chiefs let Starks fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malaki Starks, the Round 2 slot, roughly 47 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cost of the Broughton reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 64th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 66 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 96 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Value said wait; Vernon Broughton in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach pick No. 132 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 153rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
