The rest of the league had time to spare on Joe Milton III; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 115 spots ahead at pick 85. Put together, it is a D-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wilson.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
In the 32nd pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 59
By-the-book stuff, Ricky Pearsall at pick No. 54 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 157
A big swing on Hunter Nourzad at the 95th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
A tidy little value on Ben Sinnott in slot 132, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Wilson at Round 5, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Mason McCormick slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 173 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.31 · Pick 206 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
A reach on Garret Greenfield in the 206th overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Sundell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
