More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chiefs spent the Round 5 slot on Gabe Hall, a name the board had a full 46 spots lower.

Landing Worthy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 32 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 64th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy little value on Javon Foster in No. 133, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 172nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
