Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Chiefs bet big and early on Jack Nelson, 51 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

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

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 23
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 35
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 115
Value said wait; Jack Nelson in No. 64 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 44
They robbed the room for Matthew Golden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at pick 96 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.31 · Pick 132 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 101
Brashard Smith in the 132nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
