The Chiefs let Mustapha fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. You build a draft on nights like this. Malik Mustapha had no business being available in pick No. 210, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
Reaching for Driskell left real value on the table behind him. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and interior defensive lineman.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 32nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 72 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 95 on Maason Smith with quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick130
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sinnott at slot 133, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at pick No. 145 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
They did well to land Javion Cohen in the 158th pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173
Rnd5
Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 210th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick227
Rnd7
Blake Watson
A reach on Blake Watson in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jordan Magee in the 242nd overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Thomas this early at pick 250. The roster fit checks out.
