Grand theft in slot 95: the Chiefs steal Mukuba and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Andrew Mukuba had no business being available in the 95th pick, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Mukuba pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 31 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than slot 63 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in pick 66. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andrew Mukuba adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
