2025 Draft Grade: A-
The Chiefs were happy to see OT Josh Simmons drop to them at (eh hum) pick 32. (Thank you, Eagles for the extra RD5 pick.) If he can recover from his torn patellar tendon injury - the same injury that took out Lucas Niang - he will finally solve the one missing piece the Chiefs have needed, a long-term LT. I'm excited to see what Edge Ashton Gillotte and CB Nohl Williams can add to the defense. Both should see plenty of snaps. WR Jalen Royals should also see plenty of playing time after the league suspends Rachel Rice for his ridiculous 'Fast and Furious' impersonation that shut down a Dallas interstate.
Looking Ahead - 2026 Draft
The returns from the L'Jarius Sneed trade is now complete with the additions of Gillotte and (RD7 pick used to move up for) last year's RD1 Xavier Worthy. Yet, Sneed was direly missed last season. CB Daniel Harris brings many comparisons to Sneed. His size (6'2") and speed that fits the Chiefs' press-man scheme, much like Sneed did. He's a raw prospect with great upside. Plus, his long arms and closing burst mirrors that of a young Sneed. (His driving record, unfortunately, mirrors Rice's.) Spagnuolo and DB Coach Dave Merritt can mold Harris into a lockdown weapon.

CHIEFS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
