FutureA
The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D. The rest of the league had time to spare on DeMonte Capehart; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 48 spots ahead at No. 111.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Muhammad pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Muhammad steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 13 they get a lead back with juice. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in slot 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
No edge and no loss on Sonny Styles in the 40th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
A slide stopped in pick 43, with Caleb Banks worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Max Klare
Max Klare at Round 3, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in the 75th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Value with a capital V on Julian Neal in slot 91, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Malik Muhammad in pick 93 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick109
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
They talked themselves into Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146
Rnd5
Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick No. 146 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167
Rnd5
Duce Robinson
They jumped the gun on Duce Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves at Round 5, Pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217
Rnd7
Barion Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barion Brown this early at the 217th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
