FutureB-
The Chiefs kept it disciplined and banked a B. There is a lot to like until you notice tight end is still a hole. The Chiefs never got to the one that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Getting Schrader where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nate Wiggins at slot 35 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick64
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 64, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in pick No. 90, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in pick 95. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A quiet steal in the 159th pick: Luke McCaffrey for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
A reasonable price with a little left over, Walter Rouse in the 173rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
They took Justin Rogers at par in Round 7, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
Value with a capital V on Cody Schrader in Round 7, Pick 6, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
