The Taulia Tagovailoa pick is the one that will follow the Chiefs into the fall. They took him 54 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The Tampa pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and linebacker still on the board. Getting Tampa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In pick No. 26 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
In the 32nd overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman and linebacker still to address, they spent slot 64 on T.J. Tampa, a cornerback they were not short of.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 118
A tidy little value on Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson at No. 131 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
Fair-plus on Ben Sinnott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
Justin Eboigbe at pick 133 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 159
Sione Vaki in No. 159 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 229
Frank Gore Jr. at the 179th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.15 · Pick 235 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 289
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Taulia Tagovailoa. The roster fit checks out.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 284
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eyabi Okie-Anoma this early at slot 252. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
