A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chiefs to a D-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chiefs spent pick 200 on Barion Brown, a name the board had a full 51 spots lower. Put together, it is a D-.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Abney II pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Abney II.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 13th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick40
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Banks at the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in Round 2, Pick 11 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
A premium they did not need to pay, A'Mauri Washington a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61
Rnd2
Max Klare
No edge and no loss on Max Klare in pick 61; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
They took Malachi Fields at par in slot 74, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nicholas Singleton this early at the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
They let Domonique Orange come to them and pounced at the 91st overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
A want over a need in slot 93: Keith Abney II adds a cornerback while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zachariah Branch in the 96th pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A wild overpay on Bryce Lance in pick No. 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146
Rnd5
J.C. Davis
By-the-book stuff, J.C. Davis at Round 5, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167
Rnd5
Duce Robinson
They liked Duce Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 167. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in No. 176 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 200th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
