Larceny in Round 7, Pick 32 lands the Chiefs a B, Lewis and all. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Robert Lewis, the No. 218 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 252.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 31st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 63 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A want over a need in slot 94: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick163
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
A straight-up fair deal on Lathan Ransom at the 163rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick171
Rnd5
Devontez Walker
You do not let a wide receiver like Devontez Walker reach Round 5, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175
Rnd5
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at No. 175 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Ben Bywater
Good price on Ben Bywater in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252
Rnd7
Robert Lewis
Circle this one: Robert Lewis at pick No. 252 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
