Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Chiefs a B.

The tape said wait; the Chiefs did not. Tylan Grable went at the 172nd overall pick, a good 109 picks before the board was ready. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, quarterback and other spots. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Teair Tart gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Worthy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 64 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in the 95th overall pick: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while tight end, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 131st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They did well to land Dylan Laube in Round 5, Pick 22, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tylan Grable
Value said wait; Tylan Grable in pick 172 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 181st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A reach on Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick No. 242; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at Round 7, Pick 32 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
