The Joshua Cephus selection is the head-turner. The Chiefs reached 48 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Getting Amegadjie where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
Circle this one: Dallas Turner at Round 1, Pick 32 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Nice patience on Jermaine Burton, who had no business lasting to the 64th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 95 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They robbed the room for Mason McCormick here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 158 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in pick No. 172. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Joshua Cephus at the 210th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
