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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chiefs, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

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

Landing Estime that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick64 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at slot 64 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at No. 66, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They paid up for Javon Baker at pick No. 67 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 7 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A curious use of the 90th pick. Quarterback and linebacker needed the pick; a cornerback in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A reach on Maason Smith in pick 95; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They went early on Zak Zinter in No. 100, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Value with a capital V on Audric Estime in pick No. 131, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Myles Cole
No edge and no loss on Myles Cole in slot 159; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
