If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chiefs would have aced it. M.J. Devonshire at slot 158 is 24 spots clear of where he belonged.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 32 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
They paid a round early for Xavier Legette in pick No. 64, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Malik Washington in the 95th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They jumped the gun on Roger Rosengarten, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They reached into another round for M.J. Devonshire, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
