Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chiefs to a D.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chiefs shredded theirs for Ted Hurst. He came off 39 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Reese makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 29th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A slide stopped in pick No. 40, with Caleb Banks worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy bit of business in No. 57, where Dillon Thieneman graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
A tidy little value on Ja'Kobi Lane in slot 74, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A straight-up fair deal on Daylen Everette at pick 89, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick93 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Harold Perkins Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ted Hurst this early at No. 109. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They went early on Aaron Graves in slot 146, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 167th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in pick No. 176 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
