Nobody dealt better than the Chiefs this weekend: B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Caleb Murphy; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at pick No. 251.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick60
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in No. 62 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback open.
Pick91
Rnd3
Donovan Edwards
A conviction pick on Donovan Edwards at slot 91 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick 100 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 146th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161
Rnd5
Darius Robinson
They did well to land Darius Robinson in Round 5, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
Rasheen Ali
A wild overpay on Rasheen Ali in No. 171, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 175th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 186 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187
Rnd6
Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at the 187th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251
Rnd7
Caleb Murphy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caleb Murphy well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
