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

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
In pick 32 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 74
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.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 98
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.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 146
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.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 182
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.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 196
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
