The tape said wait; the Chiefs did not. Darius Robinson went at No. 64, a good 57 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Colson. The quarterback 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.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in pick 64, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Steal is underselling it; Junior Colson at the 95th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Ben Sinnott in slot 133 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Luke McCaffrey slid further than he should have, and No. 158 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in No. 210; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They liked Nathaniel Watson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 250th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
