Kansas City Chiefs

More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and tight end got none. That is a strange way for the Chiefs to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Hall Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 38
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 79
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 64 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 110
They paid up for Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 95 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 146
A conviction pick on Tykee Smith at Round 4, Pick 33 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 164
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in the 158th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 176
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 172nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
