Kansas City Chiefs

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B.

There is reaching, and then there is CJ Donaldson at No. 211. The Chiefs jumped the board by 89 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback and edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Harris falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In the 9th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Brandon Cisse · CB · rank 36
Brandon Cisse in slot 45 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Max Klare · TE · rank 78
Max Klare at the 74th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 113
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Davison Igbinosun while clear needs at quarterback and edge rusher sat open.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 143
Dametrious Crownover at Round 5, Pick 8 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 154
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zxavian Harris at No. 169 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.34 · Pick 174 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 187
Jeff Caldwell at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · Kevin Coleman Jr. · WR · rank 162
Kevin Coleman Jr. slipping to the 176th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Isaiah Jatta · OT · rank 244
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Jatta in slot 210 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.30 · Pick 211 · CJ Donaldson · RB · rank 300
CJ Donaldson at Round 6, Pick 30 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
