FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chiefs: B-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Nathan Pickering, 124 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 88th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Johnny Wilson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 95th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
They talked themselves into Jaheim Bell at slot 132, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They reached a country mile for Jordan Travis at slot 144, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at pick 159 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylan Ford in the 173rd pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Kalen DeLoach
Kalen DeLoach in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245
Rnd7
Nathan Pickering
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathan Pickering well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
