The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Wheatley: B-.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Zakee Wheatley fell into the 109th overall pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in pick No. 40, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A slide stopped in the 74th pick, with Keionte Scott worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at the 109th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick146 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A clean, defensible pick in slot 146 with a little surplus value in DeMonte Capehart. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Fair-plus on Marlin Klein, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
