Kansas City Chiefs

A weekend the Chiefs spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The Chiefs went off the board in a big way for Anthony Gould, 56 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
Jordan Morgan is a better player than slot 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 44
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 43
They took Kris Jenkins at par in the 40th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 36
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at No. 47 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at the 64th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 118
A real head-scratcher, Ainias Smith in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 145
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 172
They paid a round early for Cody Schrader in the 158th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 179
Roger Rosengarten in No. 172 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 266
Anthony Gould in pick No. 210 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 279
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Cole well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
