Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureD+
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Jack Nelson, 51 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jack Nelson
Value said wait; Jack Nelson in No. 64 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
They robbed the room for Matthew Golden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at pick 96 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick132 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the 132nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
