Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Nobody had Caden Curry this high, and it is not close. The Chiefs reached 33 spots to get him at No. 85. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. It is not that Lee III is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first.

Golday at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs in pick 38 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A tidy little value on Caleb Banks in No. 49, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They let Dillon Thieneman come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A slide stopped in the 69th overall pick, with Germie Bernard worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in pick No. 75, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to Round 3, Pick 18, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Value said wait; Caden Curry in slot 85 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid sticker price for Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick 89, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at Round 3, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Good price on Julian Neal in the 113th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick119 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Linebacker needed the pick; a cornerback in Will Lee III did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eli Raridon in the 131st overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
Nothing to complain about; CJ Daniels went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at pick No. 167 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in pick No. 184 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Fair-plus on Ephesians Prysock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick191 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They did well to land Taylen Green in No. 191, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Nice patience on Josh Cameron, who had no business lasting to the 192nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 VJ Payne
They took VJ Payne at par in slot 193, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the tight end. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at the 239th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Adam Randall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Adam Randall in pick 247, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
