Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 38 regardless, 25 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 31 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick63 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
They went early on Mason Taylor in Round 2, Pick 31, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 66 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick132 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in slot 132 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the 256th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
