Thirty-one other rooms let Decamerion Richardson slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in slot 32. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Good price on Kamari Lassiter in pick 64, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Jonah Elliss in the 95th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Jefferson this early at Round 4, Pick 31. It fills a real need, too.
Cornelius Johnson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
You do not let a linebacker like Trevin Wallace reach the 173rd overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Decamerion Richardson in pick No. 221 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
