Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Giddens from sliding. Grade: B.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and DJ Giddens fell into pick 256. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 31 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in slot 63 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach Round 3, Pick 2 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 132 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They robbed the room for DJ Giddens here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
