Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Sadiq: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kenyon Sadiq tumbling to the Chiefs in pick No. 45 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 14th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at No. 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Keith Abney II in Round 4, Pick 4, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A want over a need in the 114th overall pick: D'Angelo Ponds adds a cornerback while offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in pick No. 153 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
By-the-book stuff, Aaron Graves at slot 176 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
