Priorities are a choice, and the Chiefs made a strange one, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety in slot 85 with wide receiver, tight end and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 46
In pick No. 32 they get a downhill hitter at safety, though they paid up to get him.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 75
A reach on Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 2; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 69
A want over a need in pick 85: Andrew Mukuba adds a safety while wide receiver, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 93
Ozzy Trapilo at No. 96 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.31 · Pick 132 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 141
Rylie Mills in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 173
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dorian Strong in slot 189. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
