ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Judkins fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Quinshon Judkins tumbling to the Chiefs in pick No. 95 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: tight end settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 31 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick 63 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Harold Fannin Jr. at the 66th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at No. 95 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Fair-plus on Cobee Bryant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
