Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The war room fell hard for David Walker, and it showed at pick 95: 62 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Pierce value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 31 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They paid up for Jared Ivey at pick No. 63 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They reached a country mile for Jaylin Noel at Round 3, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 David Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take David Walker this early at the 95th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach pick 132 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
