FutureB
The Chiefs worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Chiefs came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
The Barrett reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while quarterback went begging.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A big swing on Edgerrin Cooper at pick 37, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Corum at pick No. 77, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick112
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
They reached into another round for Dallin Holker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in slot 128 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at No. 150 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in the 161st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Christian Jones
A conviction pick on Christian Jones at the 171st overall pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at pick No. 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190
Rnd6
DeWayne Carter
They paid up for DeWayne Carter at pick 190 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in No. 206 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Zakhari Franklin worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 251 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
