Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 256: the Chiefs steal Edwards and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Donovan Edwards, the No. 188 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than pick No. 63 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 31 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in pick 132, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach the 256th overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
