The Chiefs land in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody had Shamar Easter this high, and it is not close. The Chiefs reached 260 spots to get him at pick 40.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Francis Mauigoa that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Domonique Orange
In the 29th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at slot 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 109th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Desmond Reid
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Desmond Reid well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in the 169th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Value said wait; Noah Thomas in Round 6, Pick 29 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
