The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chiefs reached some 57 spots for Montrell Johnson Jr., and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Jalen Ramsey gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 32 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A clean fit for the roster.
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 32: Lander Barton for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Earnest Greene III at No. 69 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Emmanwori. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Baron in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They talked themselves into Kaden Prather at slot 193, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Montrell Johnson Jr. this early at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
