Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Haulcy: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let A.J. Haulcy slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at the 82nd overall pick. Highway robbery.

The Washington Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Javonte Williams gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Caleb Banks for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
A clean, defensible pick in the 74th overall pick with a little surplus value in Ja'Kobi Lane. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in slot 82 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mike Washington Jr. this early at No. 109. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
No edge and no loss on Tanner Koziol in the 146th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in Round 5, Pick 38, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
