FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chiefs. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chiefs did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Every board in the league had Graves lower, and that gap is the story. The Rodriguez steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
T.J. Parker
In No. 13 they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at slot 46 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the 77th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Kaytron Allen. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
A real head-scratcher, Aaron Graves in pick 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176
Rnd5
Jacob Rodriguez
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 36, with Jacob Rodriguez worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
