Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for Haulcy. Final grade: B.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and A.J. Haulcy fell into slot 95. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Thomas to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 9th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In pick No. 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in No. 40 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
You do not let a cornerback like D'Angelo Ponds reach the 74th pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at slot 95 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at pick 109 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trey Zuhn III in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A conviction pick on Kaleb Elarms-Orr at Round 5, Pick 29 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ Campbell a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dae'Quan Wright. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zavion Thomas this early at No. 210. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They robbed the room for Cole Payton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
