When a board-topper like Evan Williams slides to pick 252, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The cost of the Eboigbe reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
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 blindside protector, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
They took Devontez Walker at par in pick 64, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A quiet steal in the 95th pick: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A conviction pick on Justin Eboigbe at the 132nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A slide stopped in No. 159, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
By-the-book stuff, Khristian Boyd at pick No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Evan Williams in slot 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
