Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Paul: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chiefs, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Paul at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Reiman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 27 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 32 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 95th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than No. 132 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
No edge and no loss on Dylan Laube in pick No. 159; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
A premium they did not need to pay, Tip Reiman a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
