Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hayden Hatten; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 29 spots ahead at the 246th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sainristil.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in pick No. 125, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
They let Mike Sainristil come to them and pounced at No. 167. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick171 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Good price on Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cody Schrader. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 203rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at Round 7, Pick 26 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
