There is reaching, and then there is Darius Robinson at slot 95. The Chiefs jumped the board by 25 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 36
Xavier Legette in pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 32 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 120
Darius Robinson at slot 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 134
Cedric Gray in No. 133 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 161
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 167
LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 172 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Jalen Green · S · rank 218
Jalen Green in slot 210 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 263
The board had cheaper options than Eric Gentry at the 250th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
