Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Singleton: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nicholas Singleton slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at the 214th overall pick. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Burch to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell in Round 1, Pick 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in the 64th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Burch well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darien Porter in No. 93. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
A reach for Jayden Higgins in pick No. 133; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
They robbed the room for Nicholas Singleton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 255th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
