FutureB
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B to prove it. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chiefs took Walter Rouse at the 175th overall pick, roughly 106 spots before his name belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end, quarterback and other spots still on the board. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barrett.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in pick 29, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They paid up for Trey Benson at pick No. 64 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A want over a need in No. 91: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while tight end, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick128
Rnd4
Kamal Hadden
A conviction pick on Kamal Hadden at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 161st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in slot 169 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick No. 175 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
They let Michael Barrett come to them and pounced at the 206th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
A premium they did not need to pay, Nathaniel Watson a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
They jumped the gun on Joshua Cephus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
