Overall B-

ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chiefs: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice offensive lineman is still a hole. The Chiefs never got to the one that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Banks. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs

Nothing to complain about; Caleb Downs went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks

Value with a capital V on Caleb Banks in slot 40, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick74 Rnd3 Max Klare

The board had Max Klare higher than pick No. 74, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick109 Rnd4 Domani Jackson

They took Domani Jackson at par in the 109th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.

Pick147 Rnd5 LJ Martin

No edge and no loss on LJ Martin in the 147th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick177 Rnd5 Duce Robinson

Duce Robinson in Round 5, Pick 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
