Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-.

The Chiefs clearly saw something nobody else did in Caden Curry, taking him 35 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Stukes value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
No drama and no debate, Omar Cooper Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Fair-plus on Jonah Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in slot 86 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes is a better player than the 109th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick146 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They took Beau Stephens at par in pick 146, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A tidy little value on Kaleb Proctor in the 176th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
They paid a round early for Zavion Thomas in slot 209, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A conviction pick on De'Zhaun Stribling at Round 7, Pick 26 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
