Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Dorian Strong, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Fannin Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A slide stopped in No. 63, with Tyleik Williams worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 66 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Devin Neal in slot 95. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick 132 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
