Grand theft in Round 4, Pick 9: the Chiefs steal Holmes Jr. and grade out a B-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chiefs watched A.J. Holmes Jr. slide 40 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
They are betting Stewart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Cam Coleman
In the 9th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40
Rnd2
Brandon Baker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Baker well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jordan Marshall
Jordan Marshall in pick 74 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
A.J. Holmes Jr.
A.J. Holmes Jr. at slot 109 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146
Rnd5
Evan Stewart
A wild overpay on Evan Stewart in Round 5, Pick 8, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176
Rnd5
Sammy Omosigho
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 176 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
