Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Chiefs treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 257 on Richard Jibunor a full 60 spots early.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Getting Benson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

So much rides on Adonai Mitchell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 33
In slot 32 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
Steal is underselling it; Trey Benson at the 115th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 136
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at pick 133 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 150
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in No. 152, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
Jarrian Jones slipping to pick No. 158 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 179
Khristian Boyd at pick 179 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 287
They reached into another round for Jalen Sundell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.34 · Pick 254 · Anim Dankwah · OT · rank 277
Anim Dankwah at slot 254 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Richard Jibunor · OLB-EDGE · rank 317
Richard Jibunor in pick No. 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
