FutureC
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Colbie Young, 111 picks ahead of schedule.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
The Love value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jeremiyah Love at pick No. 18. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick29
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In slot 29 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick40
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at pick 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43
Rnd2
Zion Young
Zion Young at Round 2, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick47
Rnd2
Max Klare
No edge and no loss on Max Klare in the 47th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Malachi Fields
They jumped the gun on Malachi Fields, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74
Rnd3
Julian Neal
By-the-book stuff, Julian Neal at the 74th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at pick No. 90 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
They paid a round early for Bryce Lance in Round 4, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
They talked themselves into Aaron Anderson at pick 146, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
Nothing to complain about; Kaleb Proctor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in No. 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick216
Rnd6
Colbie Young
Value said wait; Colbie Young in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
