The Chiefs spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jalen McMillan, the No. 99 name on the board, in pick No. 139.
For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Xavier Legette at pick No. 64 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A clean, defensible pick in the 95th overall pick with a little surplus value in Dominick Puni. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Jalen McMillan in pick 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 159th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Dylan Laube slipping to slot 174 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Steele Chambers at No. 222 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
A tidy little value on Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bub Means in Round 7, Pick 32. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
