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

Thirty-one other rooms let Malaki Starks slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at pick 67. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They will need Tuten to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Colston Loveland in Round 2, Pick 4. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at slot 63 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the 67th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A quiet steal in pick 107: Tai Felton for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid sticker price for Mello Dotson in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
A premium they did not need to pay, Bhayshul Tuten a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 226th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
By-the-book stuff, Tonka Hemingway at No. 251 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cody Lindenberg. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
