Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B.

There is reaching, and then there is AJ Barner at the Round 5 slot. The Chiefs jumped the board by 25 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 31 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slid further than he should have, and slot 60 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the 91st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Leonard Taylor III this early at the 94th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick No. 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
A reach on Dylan Laube in Round 4, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in No. 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A big swing on AJ Barner at pick 161, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A conviction pick on Taulia Tagovailoa at the 206th pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
