The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jadarian Price fell into the 109th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Chiefs clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In pick No. 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 18
In the 29th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Caleb Banks · DL · rank 41
Caleb Banks slid further than he should have, and No. 49 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
Circle this one: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 74th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 59
Steal is underselling it; Germie Bernard at Round 3, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Jadarian Price · RB · rank 69
Jadarian Price in slot 109 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Treydan Stukes at the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 144
Dametrious Crownover in pick 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 149
Charles Demmings at slot 152 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Eric Rivers · WR · rank 169
No drama and no debate, Eric Rivers went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · Keagen Trost · OT · rank 184
They paid a round early for Keagen Trost in pick No. 176, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 176
Domani Jackson at the 180th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.6 · Pick 187 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 185
They paid sticker price for DJ Campbell in pick 187, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 209 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 189
Somehow Jeff Caldwell was still sitting there in No. 209, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Dallen Bentley · TE · rank 200
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 29, where Dallen Bentley graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
