FutureB-
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D-. There is reaching, and then there is Barion Brown at pick 186. The Chiefs jumped the board by 42 and dared it to prove them wrong. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Haulcy.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In the 12th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Romello Height
A conviction pick on Romello Height at pick 39 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Max Klare
They left a pile of value on the table to take Max Klare this early at pick No. 40. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
They let A'Mauri Washington come to them and pounced at No. 70. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Julian Neal in Round 3, Pick 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96
Rnd3
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick No. 109 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
No drama and no debate, DeMonte Capehart went about where he belonged in pick 145. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They jumped the gun on Davison Igbinosun, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177
Rnd5
Dane Key
They paid a round early for Dane Key in No. 177, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at slot 186 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
