Larceny in Round 4, Pick 32 lands the Chiefs a B, Hicks and all.

Somebody in pick No. 132 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chiefs sat still while Jaden Hicks, the No. 85 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The McGregor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 32nd overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 64 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in Round 4, Pick 32 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They paid up for Braiden McGregor at slot 159 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
They jumped the gun on Fabien Lovett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Fair-plus on Jalen Sundell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
