B-
Kansas City Chiefs
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B-.
by homegrown ·
2025 NFL Draft
· 6 picks
· 1 steals
· 3 reaches
There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Jalen Travis, 93 picks ahead of schedule.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
They reached into another round for Charles Grant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in slot 68, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jayden Higgins in the 96th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 133 with a little surplus value in Deone Walker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Jalen Travis in pick 254 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
