The Chiefs clearly saw something nobody else did in Theo Johnson, taking him 29 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in pick No. 66, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in slot 95, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Isaac Guerendo in the 132nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
No edge and no loss on Walter Rouse in No. 160; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Dwight McGlothern at pick 173 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They paid up for Michael Barrett at No. 226 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No drama and no debate, Jalen Sundell went about where he belonged in the 248th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Anim Dankwah at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
