Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B-.

The Hayden Hatten selection is the head-turner. The Chiefs reached 86 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in slot 25. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 125, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick No. 167 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 171st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Hayden Hatten
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Hatten in Round 6, Pick 14 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at No. 203 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in slot 217 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II at the 246th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
