Grand theft in the 176th pick: the Chiefs steal McCoy and grade out a B.

The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jermod McCoy fell into Round 5, Pick 38. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 David Bailey
Taking David Bailey in pick No. 40 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
The board fumbled Spencer Fano all the way to slot 74, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Carnell Tate
Circle this one: Carnell Tate at the 109th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jordyn Tyson in pick 146, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in the 176th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
