Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Rasheen Ali, 86 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Newton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in Round 3, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in pick 125 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Ainias Smith. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in the 171st pick, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at No. 175 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A wild overpay on Hayden Hatten in slot 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
