Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chiefs never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Laube pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 33
In slot 32 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at the 94th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
No drama and no debate, Tyler Davis went about where he belonged in pick No. 95. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 146
They jumped the gun on Dylan Laube, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
They went early on Ben Sinnott in pick 133, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 153
Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 158 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 186
Ethan Driskell in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Erick All · TE · rank 215
They took Erick All at par in Round 6, Pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Jalen Green · S · rank 212
Jalen Green in pick No. 214 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 248
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jennings in slot 250, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
