One of my favorite parts of the NFL draft is the craziness that is draft day trades. Some teams trade several times, others do not trade at all. Some teams only trade up, others only trade down.

Calculating which team “won” or “lost” a trade is both a very simple and very complicated calculation.

Last week, I took a dive into the Chiefs 2025 draft class. Overall I liked it a lot. I felt day two (rounds 2 and 3) were full of reaches, which makes me hesitate. But days 1 and 3 were really good.

The greatest event in the history of sports just ended: the NFL draft.

Looking at PFF’s mock draft simulator, PFF lists the Chiefs top 3 needs as guard, tackle, and defensive line. Pro Football Network says defensive tackle, guard, and edge rusher. NFL.com says defensive line, offensive line, and edge rusher. Basically, everyone thinks the Chiefs need to bolster the trenches on both sides of the line. Last week, we talked about the offensive depth in this class. We found that it’s a surprisingly good year for running backs compared to the past 5 drafts (2020-2024).
