Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Smith. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Ainias Smith slides to the 203rd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
A reach on Troy Franklin in the 25th pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
No edge and no loss on Landon Jackson in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, Devontez Walker a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They jumped the gun on Cade Stover, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at No. 167 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at Round 5, Pick 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
They did well to land Braden Fiske in slot 175, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like Ainias Smith reach pick 203 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Duce Chestnut in pick 246, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
