Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Chiefs won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Chiefs came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Reiman reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at slot 40 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick No. 64 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A quiet steal in No. 95: Trey Benson for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Maason Smith a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 132nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
A real head-scratcher, Tip Reiman in Round 5, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the 173rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in slot 252 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
