FutureA
The Chiefs cashed the board's mistake on Nolen: D+. The Chiefs spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Walter Nolen, the No. 38 name on the board, in the 106th pick. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.
Reaching for Hemby left real value on the table behind him. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Sawyer at No. 34 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in pick No. 64, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jordan Hancock
They did well to land Jordan Hancock in slot 69, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick96
Rnd3
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at Round 3, Pick 32 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in the 106th pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128
Rnd4
Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at the 128th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit is a better player than pick 160 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163
Rnd6
Riley Mahlman
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 163 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby in pick No. 205 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
