Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Chiefs robbed the room for Simpson. Final grade: C-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chiefs, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C- in the wash.

The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They are betting Eboigbe proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 23 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy is a better player than pick No. 64 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They jumped the gun on Dominick Puni, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 132 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Jha'Quan Jackson at the 173rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at slot 252 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
