Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Dallin Holker at No. 26 regardless, 104 picks early.

It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Chiefs had louder needs to answer first. The Mustapha pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

If Dallin Holker and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallin Holker
In the 26th pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 2 slot on Maason Smith with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid a round early for Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 26, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
A wild overpay on Jaylan Ford in pick 126, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slid further than he should have, and No. 167 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick171 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in pick No. 171; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick175 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They let LaDarius Henderson come to them and pounced at pick No. 175. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at slot 247. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
