Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chiefs never addressed tight end, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.
Landing Corum that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
They read the board right and Adisa Isaac was the payoff at pick 64. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A slide stopped in pick No. 95, with Blake Corum worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Simpson in the 132nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A quiet steal in No. 159: Luke McCaffrey for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nelson Ceaser in slot 173. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Tyrice Knight at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
