Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Chiefs shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

The Bethune reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 23
Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 49
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in slot 43. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 64 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 95
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Baker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.15 · Pick 151 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 146
Good price on Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 151, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 150
They let Justin Eboigbe come to them and pounced at pick 158. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at the 172nd pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 214
A big swing on Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 19, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 257
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tatum Bethune in slot 233, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
