Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Sheridan Jones got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
No drama and no debate, Devontez Walker went about where he belonged in pick 64. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Josh Newton slid further than he should have, and No. 132 is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 159. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Steal is underselling it; Brennan Jackson at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
They will replay Sheridan Jones at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
