Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chiefs and Hood: B.

When a board-topper like Colton Hood slides to slot 210, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 29th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kadyn Proctor
They will replay Kadyn Proctor at pick 40 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
They robbed the room for Mansoor Delane here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
Taking Jermod McCoy in the 148th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Akheem Mesidor
The board fumbled Akheem Mesidor all the way to pick No. 169, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson in Round 5, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Colton Hood
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Colton Hood in slot 210, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
