A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a F weekend for the Chiefs. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Sam Hartman, 125 picks ahead of schedule.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here.
They will answer for taking cornerback early while tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
On value alone, Coleman makes the weekend a net positive. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In No. 30 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In slot 32 they get a passer to set the clock by, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry is a better player than Round 2, Pick 5 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick62
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Circle this one: Keon Coleman at pick 62 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in the 64th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Max Melton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 69th overall pick on Max Melton with tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
A quiet steal in pick 95: Jaylen Wright for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A surprising call. With tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent slot 104 on Cam Hart, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick131
Rnd4
James Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing James Williams in Round 4, Pick 31. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
A wild overpay on Hunter Nourzad in the 139th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158
Rnd5
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
