Kansas City Chiefs

Nobody dealt better than the Chiefs this weekend: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chiefs reached some 32 spots for Matthew Jones, and value like that does not grow back. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
Quinyon Mitchell at pick 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at Round 2, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A curious use of No. 95. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
A conviction pick on Ben Sinnott at the 133rd pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They took Jaylen Wright at par in the 158th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 182
They jumped the gun on Trey Knox, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in Round 6, Pick 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 260
Chad Lindberg at No. 250 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
