Overall B-

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent slot 95 on Roger Rosengarten, a name most had 40 spots down the list. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell

In the 32nd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick64 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil

Mike Sainristil in slot 64 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.

Pick95 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten

They left a pile of value on the table to take Roger Rosengarten this early at the 95th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.

Pick132 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson

Johnny Wilson in No. 132 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.

Pick159 Rnd5 Javion Cohen

A premium they did not need to pay, Javion Cohen a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
