The Chiefs torched the value chart for Javon Foster, taking him 25 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. On value alone, Barrett makes the weekend a net positive.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Value with a capital V on Xavier Worthy in the 64th pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A wild overpay on Javon Foster in pick No. 95, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Simpson at pick 132 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They paid sticker price for Walter Rouse in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They took Khristian Boyd at par in No. 173, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A tidy bit of business in slot 252, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
