You build a draft on nights like this. Marcellas Dial had no business being available in the 224th pick, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
Adonai Mitchell at pick 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 106
A conviction pick on Matt Goncalves at pick No. 90 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 100
No drama and no debate, Jacob Cowing went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 119
A premium they did not need to pay, Dillon Johnson a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 129
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
Cole Bishop at No. 158 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 158
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 172nd overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 170
Value with a capital V on Kitan Oladapo in the 180th pick, a genuine coup. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 222
Omar Speights in the 210th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Marcellas Dial · CB · rank 194
Taking Marcellas Dial in pick 224 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Jeremy Flax · OT · rank 252
Jeremy Flax in Round 7, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
