Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Simpson: B-.

It is a puzzling start. The Chiefs had tight end, quarterback and other spots to solve and reached instead for Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE, at the 95th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Simpson makes the weekend a net positive. The Henderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 32 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
A reach for Johnny Wilson in Round 2, Pick 32; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick133 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Darius Robinson for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They paid up for LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 158 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 172 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
