Grand theft in slot 94: the Chiefs steal Thomas Jr. and grade out a B.

Somebody in pick 94 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chiefs sat still while Brian Thomas Jr., the No. 71 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Nothing to complain about; Ladd McConkey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
They robbed the room for Brian Thomas Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
