Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent No. 254 on Evan Anderson, a name most had 41 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 32 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at the 54th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Javon Foster slipping to Round 4, Pick 31 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Cody Schrader at slot 158 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 213 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Evan Anderson at pick 254 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
