Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs let Wilson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Payton Wilson slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at pick No. 100. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Milton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.11 · Pick 43 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 42
They paid sticker price for Keon Coleman in the 43rd pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 56
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braden Fiske at Round 2, Pick 32. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Patrick Paul at the 78th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 55
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 100 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 124
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in slot 123. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 116
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Jones at pick 126 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 126
Fair-plus on Johnny Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tip Reiman · TE · rank 182
A conviction pick on Tip Reiman at pick No. 169 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 201
They reached a country mile for Kendall Milton at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 191
M.J. Devonshire at the 219th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
A reach on Dominique Hampton in slot 222; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
