Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Chiefs won the night they stopped Banks from sliding. Grade: C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Caleb Banks, the No. 27 name on the board, stolen at the 74th pick.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
They read the board right and Kayden McDonald was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 74 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at slot 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen slid further than he should have, and pick No. 106 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in the 108th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Raridon at the 118th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick 146 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick155 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in Round 5, Pick 17 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick176 Rnd5 Josh Moten
No edge and no loss on Josh Moten in the 176th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
