When a board-topper like Ja'Tavion Sanders slides to the 64th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
The board fumbled Ja'Tavion Sanders all the way to No. 64, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Leonard Taylor III went about where he belonged in pick 95. A need, and now a little less of one.
Christian Jones at slot 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good price on Cody Schrader in the 158th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
The board had Luke McCaffrey higher than pick No. 172, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
