The rest of the league will want that one back. Brenden Rice tumbling to the Chiefs in the 117th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd overall pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Steal is underselling it; Roman Wilson at slot 64 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Brenden Rice at pick No. 117 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Andru Phillips at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Fair-plus on Trey Knox, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
