Grand theft in pick No. 252: the Chiefs steal Laube and grade out a A. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dylan Laube got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at slot 252.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Melton pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end and quarterback still on the board. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell is a better player than No. 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44
Rnd2
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 8, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95
Rnd3
Max Melton
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and quarterback to take Max Melton, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in the 106th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
Steal is underselling it; Patrick Paul at slot 111 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 139th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick No. 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick159
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the 159th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
Taking Jha'Quan Jackson in Round 7, Pick 16 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Dylan Laube
You do not let a running back like Dylan Laube reach slot 252 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
