Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Thompson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Every other box got a look, but offensive lineman did not. The Chiefs will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

On value alone, Thompson makes the weekend a net positive. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In No. 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kayden McDonald at pick No. 40 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare slipping to pick 74 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
A quiet steal in slot 109: Kaytron Allen for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenen Thompson in the 176th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
