Thirty-one other rooms let Kimani Vidal slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at slot 209. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 31 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Mekhi Wingo in pick 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Marist Liufau at Round 3, Pick 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A slide stopped in the 131st overall pick, with Kris Abrams-Draine worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
McCallan Castles at pick No. 155 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
LaDarius Henderson at No. 161 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No drama and no debate, Brennan Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Jefferson at the 175th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
You do not let a running back like Kimani Vidal reach No. 209 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
