Cattleman DRAFTING FOR THEChiefs
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chiefs spent pick No. 148 on Ephesians Prysock, a name most had 33 spots down the list.
The McAlister value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Spending an early pick on cornerback with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick 9 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 29 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Zion Young
They took Zion Young at par in slot 40, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Daylen Everette adds a cornerback and leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick109
Rnd4
Devin Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Devin Moore at cornerback with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ephesians Prysock
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ephesians Prysock in Round 5, Pick 8, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick169
Rnd5
Cyrus Allen
Nice patience on Cyrus Allen, who had no business lasting to pick No. 169. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176
Rnd5
Zane Durant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zane Durant in slot 176. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Eric McAlister
Somehow Eric McAlister was still sitting there in the 210th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
