A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Chiefs get a C+. The Chiefs spent real capital to be 24 picks early on Walter Rouse, and the board is going to hold them to it. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while tight end, quarterback and other spots went begging. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jordan.
So much rides on Jermaine Burton that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick44
Rnd2
Jermaine Burton
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Burton in the 44th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in slot 63. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 3, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 94 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kamal Hadden
They paid sticker price for Kamal Hadden in No. 131, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
They did well to land Jaylen Wright in the 161st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
A reach on Michael Barrett in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 223rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234
Rnd7
Walter Rouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Walter Rouse well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238
Rnd7
Chad Lindberg
A wild overpay on Chad Lindberg in pick No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Nice patience on Matthew Jones, who had no business lasting to the 252nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Value with a capital V on Nathaniel Watson in pick 254, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
