Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Smith should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Brashard Smith slides to pick No. 226, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Hemingway pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 44th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They paid sticker price for Cameron Williams in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They took Jared Ivey at par in Round 3, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in the 95th overall pick: Deone Walker for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
By-the-book stuff, Hollin Pierce at No. 133 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A reach on Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 251; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mac McWilliams at pick 257 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
