Kansas City Chiefs

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chiefs a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but DeMonte Capehart at No. 254 is 44 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Simpson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Patrick Paul at slot 32 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 73
Johnny Wilson at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at the 95th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 140
Kamal Hadden in the 133rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
Jaylen Wright at Round 5, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 154
Taking Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 187 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 215
A straight-up fair deal on Braiden McGregor at the 210th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 281
A big swing on Walter Rouse at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 278
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Thomas in Round 7, Pick 33, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.34 · Pick 254 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 298
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at slot 254, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
