Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chiefs let Mitchell fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chiefs, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Mitchell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Chiefs indulged a want in Smith while a need in tight end, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They barely believed it either: Adonai Mitchell still on the board at the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slipping to pick No. 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 89th overall pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick125 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
No drama and no debate, J. Michael Sturdivant went about where he belonged in pick 125. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Good price on Zy Alexander in Round 5, Pick 31, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 5, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Nelson at No. 175, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Nothing to complain about; Ricky Pearsall went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Steal is underselling it; Omar Speights at pick No. 246 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
