Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B.

Everything else got attention, and tight end got none. That is a strange way for the Chiefs to leave a draft. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Burden III at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
