The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Royer: B+. When a board-topper like Joe Royer slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick 27 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 29 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58
Rnd2
Akheem Mesidor
You do not let an edge rusher like Akheem Mesidor reach the 58th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
Circle this one: Lee Hunter at the 74th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Max Klare
Max Klare in Round 4, Pick 10 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith is a better player than slot 115 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
They did well to land Dametrious Crownover in No. 148, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
Joe Royer
Taking Joe Royer in pick No. 169 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Good price on Bryce Boettcher in Round 5, Pick 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at No. 176, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick199
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
They read the board right and Ephesians Prysock was the payoff at the 199th pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick210
Rnd6
Chase Roberts
No edge and no loss on Chase Roberts in pick 210; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
