Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs robbed the room for Williams. Final grade: C-.

Future D

The rest of the league will want that one back. James Williams tumbling to the Chiefs in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.

Reaching for Wiley left real value on the table behind him. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Hit on Xavier Legette and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 38
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
T.J. Tampa at slot 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in pick 64; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 67
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 3, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 79
They paid up for Brandon Dorlus at the 70th pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 95th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 104 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at No. 107, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 160
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at slot 132, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, James Williams in the 159th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 201
Value said wait; Kendall Milton in pick 173 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 187
They barely believed it either: Cornelius Johnson still on the board at Round 6, Pick 38. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 217
They paid sticker price for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
