There is reaching, and then there is Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 198. The Chiefs jumped the board by 38 and dared it to prove them wrong. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 21
In pick No. 21 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
A straight-up fair deal on Ladd McConkey at the 32nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 99
No edge and no loss on Jalen McMillan in slot 95; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson at the 132nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 153
Kitan Oladapo in the 159th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 183
They liked Fabien Lovett enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 173. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 174
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Cody Schrader graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 198 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 231
Steal is underselling it; Tylan Grable at the 252nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
