Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Chiefs took Matthew Jones a full 33 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In the 31st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 72 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ainias Smith. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached into another round for Edefuan Ulofoshio, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
Nothing to complain about; Braelon Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at No. 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A clean, defensible pick in the 187th pick with a little surplus value in Michael Barrett. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at the 209th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229
Rnd7
Blake Watson
Blake Watson at pick No. 229 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
By-the-book stuff, Dwight McGlothern at slot 252 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
