You build a draft on nights like this. Jarrian Jones had no business being available in pick No. 159, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In the 19th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
Nice patience on Xavier Worthy, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 91
Fair-plus on Bucky Irving, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones at the 159th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
No drama and no debate, Jha'Quan Jackson went about where he belonged in No. 173. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 245
Josh Proctor at pick No. 252 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
