FutureB-
The Chiefs checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Gavin Bartholomew; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 138 spots ahead at No. 249. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 60th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roman Wilson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A reach for Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 28; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161
Rnd5
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 161st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in slot 171, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 175, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 31, with Jase McClellan worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Gavin Bartholomew
They reached a country mile for Gavin Bartholomew at No. 249, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
