FutureB-
The Chiefs turned the phones into found money: B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chiefs, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
If Elarms-Orr pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Ponds falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
The Ponds pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 12th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick29
Rnd1
Omar Cooper Jr.
In slot 29 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
A curious use of No. 74. Edge rusher needed the pick; a cornerback in D'Angelo Ponds did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
Value with a capital V on Mike Washington Jr. in pick No. 92, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kaleb Proctor
They reached into another round for Kaleb Proctor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Jack Endries at pick 110 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at Round 4, Pick 12 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malik Benson
No edge and no loss on Malik Benson in pick 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A big swing on Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at slot 169, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176
Rnd5
Eric McAlister
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric McAlister this early at the 176th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210
Rnd6
Cole Payton
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 29, with Cole Payton worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Bobby Jamison-Travis
A straight-up fair deal on Bobby Jamison-Travis at No. 221, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
