Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the C.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Fernando Carmona at pick 244, a reach of 33 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

That Reese pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

The Stukes pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Arvell Reese and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 12th pick they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
They barely believed it either: Arvell Reese still on the board at the 29th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They went early on Gennings Dunker in slot 40, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They liked Bryce Lance enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 74. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Treydan Stukes at cornerback with running back open.
Pick109 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
The board had cheaper options than Gracen Halton at pick No. 109, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caden Curry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caden Curry this early at slot 112. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malik Benson
A tidy little value on Malik Benson in the 148th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
A reach for Dae'Quan Wright in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick No. 176 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton slipping to No. 210 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zavion Thomas at pick 234. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
A wild overpay on Fernando Carmona in the 244th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
