The tape said wait; the Chiefs did not. De'Corian Clark went at No. 252, a good 25 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
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. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 32 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 95th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Isaiah Davis at pick 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Brennan Jackson at No. 161 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They liked Tip Reiman enough to skip the value, taking him in the 173rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They reached a country mile for De'Corian Clark at slot 252, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
