Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent Round 7, Pick 32 on Josh Proctor, a name most had 41 spots down the list.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Harris where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jaylin Simpson
The board had cheaper options than Jaylin Simpson at No. 63, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid a round early for Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 31, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach for Darius Robinson in pick 131; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
No edge and no loss on Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 171; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Devin Neal
No drama and no debate, Devin Neal went about where he belonged in the 175th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 34. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
