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

Nobody else had Dallin Holker anywhere near pick 144. The Chiefs did, by 59 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. White falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the 57th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They reached a country mile for Dallin Holker at Round 5, Pick 8, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Devin Neal at No. 167 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander is a better player than Round 5, Pick 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
No drama and no debate, Jack Nelson went about where he belonged in the 175th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 185 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ricky White
Circle this one: Ricky White at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Value said wait; Josh Proctor in No. 246 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
