The Chiefs let Mullings fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kalel Mullings had no business being available in No. 216, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
A slide stopped in slot 16, with Travis Hunter worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 40
Wyatt Milum at Round 2, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 38
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at the 64th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 17
They will replay Tre Harris at pick No. 66 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.9 · Pick 110 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 18
Walter Nolen at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.10 · Pick 111 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 43
Ajani Cornelius in pick 111 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 50
Sonny Styles in No. 114 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Jack Bech · WR · rank 137
They took Jack Bech at par in the 133rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.30 · Pick 168 · Dani Dennis-Sutton · DE-EDGE · rank 79
They robbed the room for Dani Dennis-Sutton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.24 · Pick 199 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 174
A tight end of that caliber at No. 199 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.2 · Pick 216 · Kalel Mullings · RB · rank 94
Steal is underselling it; Kalel Mullings at pick 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Nic Anderson · WR · rank 148
Nic Anderson at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
