Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs land in the muddy middle: C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Quinn Carroll at the 132nd pick, a reach of 126 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Fannin Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

So much rides on Landon Jackson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 31st pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Logan Brown
Value said wait; Logan Brown in No. 63 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Harold Fannin Jr. in the 69th overall pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick No. 95 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Quinn Carroll
They reached a country mile for Quinn Carroll at Round 4, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at pick 255. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
