You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chiefs did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Landing Cowing that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 22
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in Round 2, Pick 32, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson at pick 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 114
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at the 109th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 127
They let Jacob Cowing come to them and pounced at the 142nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 210
Kimani Vidal at pick No. 221 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
