You build a draft on nights like this. Jalon Walker had no business being available in pick No. 63, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
They did well to land Tyler Warren in the 18th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Jalon Walker at slot 63 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to the 95th pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
