The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Slaughter: A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chiefs were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
However the rest shakes out, Slaughter at that price is a win they earned. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick29
Rnd1
Colton Hood
They did well to land Colton Hood in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A slide stopped in the 59th pick, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in slot 74 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
Fair-plus on CJ Daniels, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick No. 148 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
They read the board right and Jaeden Roberts was the payoff at No. 160. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kevin Coleman Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd5
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A clean, defensible pick in slot 176 with a little surplus value in Ar'maj Reed-Adams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Domani Jackson
A quiet steal in the 187th overall pick: Domani Jackson for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick209
Rnd6
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in pick 209 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Toriano Pride Jr.
They paid sticker price for Toriano Pride Jr. in the 210th pick, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255
Rnd7
Alan Herron
A reasonable price with a little left over, Alan Herron in Round 7, Pick 39. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
