Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

Nobody had Bryan Hudson this high, and it is not close. The Chiefs reached 156 spots to get him at pick No. 255.

On value alone, Travis makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 60 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at No. 128 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 135th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 161 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 171st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Value with a capital V on Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick206 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing De'Corian Clark in pick 206. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers slid further than he should have, and No. 229 is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Taking Fentrell Cypress II in the 249th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bryan Hudson
They reached into another round for Bryan Hudson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ajou Ajou
They reached a country mile for Ajou Ajou at Round 7, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
