The Chiefs' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.
They banked enough surplus on Ulofoshio to cover a lot of smaller sins. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaac Guerendo in No. 132. A need, and now a little less of one.
They took Walter Rouse at par in pick No. 159, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid sticker price for Tip Reiman in Round 6, Pick 1, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 252nd overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
