Grand theft in pick 175: the Chiefs steal Pearsall and grade out a B-.

The Chiefs spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ricky Pearsall, the No. 126 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 39.

The Jacobs pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 31st pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
They let Brandon Dorlus come to them and pounced at the 63rd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at No. 131 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 163 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jestin Jacobs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jestin Jacobs well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky Pearsall reach pick No. 175 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in Round 6, Pick 34 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
