Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs land in the muddy middle: C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chiefs reached some 44 spots for Isaiah Davis, and value like that does not grow back.

The Chiefs indulged a want in Stover while a need in tight end, quarterback and other spots stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Trey Benson
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 63rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They did well to land Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves tight end, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They paid sticker price for Kamal Hadden in slot 163, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in No. 171, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tre Harris
A reach for Tre Harris in Round 5, Pick 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in slot 209 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 252nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
