Larceny in No. 249 lands the Chiefs a B-, Cephus and all. It is a puzzling start. The Chiefs had tight end, quarterback and other spots to solve and reached instead for Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE, at the Round 3 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The Cephus pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 74th pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
No drama and no debate, Tyler Davis went about where he belonged in pick No. 91. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They went early on Jaylan Ford in the 161st overall pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 171 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 175 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick189
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
By-the-book stuff, Rasheen Ali at the 189th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
The board had Isaiah Williams higher than slot 206, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jeremy James
They took Jeremy James at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
Steal is underselling it; Joshua Cephus at the 249th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
