The Walter Rouse pick is the one that will follow the Chiefs into the fall. They took him 91 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Robinson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 21
In the 32nd overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 73
Good price on Johnny Wilson in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter in pick No. 95 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson is a better player than slot 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 152
Theo Johnson at Round 5, Pick 3 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 140
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in No. 147, just ahead of his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Brennan Jackson · DE-EDGE · rank 181
A big swing on Brennan Jackson at the 158th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 189
A reach on Michael Barrett in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 281
Walter Rouse at Round 6, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 259
Nathaniel Watson in No. 250 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 253 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.34 · Pick 254 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 260
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matthew Jones. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 298
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in the 257th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
