The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: R.J. Mickens, the No. 214 name on the board, sitting there at the 256th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Kaleb Johnson at Round 2, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Aireontae Ersery in No. 66 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They took Charles Grant at par in the 95th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Darius Alexander in slot 132 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They robbed the room for R.J. Mickens here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
