Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Chiefs did not. Hayden Hatten went at pick 246, a good 29 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Fisher that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in No. 25 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A straight-up fair deal on Byron Murphy II at pick No. 62, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in the 89th pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy bit of business in the 125th overall pick, where Blake Fisher graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They took Cade Stover at par in Round 4, Pick 30, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at slot 168 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick171 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 171 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
No edge and no loss on Cody Schrader in Round 5, Pick 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 203 with a little surplus value in Darius Robinson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They reached into another round for Hayden Hatten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
