Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Mason Taylor got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 132.

The Mills pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Mukuba pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 48
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at pick No. 64. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andrew Mukuba adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots untouched.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 131
Rylie Mills in the 96th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.31 · Pick 132 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 97
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at slot 132 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
