FutureA+
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Klare: B-. You build a draft on nights like this. Max Klare had no business being available in the 97th overall pick, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They are betting Randall proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Zion Young
They liked Zion Young enough to skip the value, taking him in the 35th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45
Rnd2
Monroe Freeling
No drama and no debate, Monroe Freeling went about where he belonged in pick No. 45. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Good price on Caleb Banks in No. 49, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Derrick Moore this early at the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Gabe Jacas
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Jacas in pick 77 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at the 86th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Max Klare
Taking Max Klare in slot 97 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in Round 3, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in Round 4, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 115th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
They took Kyle Louis at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson slipping to pick 158 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick161
Rnd5
Treydan Stukes
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 161 with a little surplus value in Treydan Stukes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
They talked themselves into Charles Jagusah at the 173rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in No. 176 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
A straight-up fair deal on Pat Coogan at slot 193, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194
Rnd6
Lander Barton
They read the board right and Lander Barton was the payoff at pick 194. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Noah Whittington. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236
Rnd7
Adam Randall
Adam Randall in the 236th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
