You build a draft on nights like this. Jalon Walker had no business being available in No. 132, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 15
In slot 21 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 35
Good price on Wyatt Milum in the 40th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 17
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jack Bech · WR · rank 71
No edge and no loss on Jack Bech in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 19
Kenneth Grant at the 93rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 94
By-the-book stuff, Dylan Fairchild at No. 95 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.18 · Pick 119 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 48
Tre Harris at pick No. 119 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.31 · Pick 132 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in Round 4, Pick 31, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.24 · Pick 163 · Kalel Mullings · RB · rank 114
They barely believed it either: Kalel Mullings still on the board at the 163rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.2 · Pick 180 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 142
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 180 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
