The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chiefs and Hurst: B-.

The Chiefs spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ted Hurst, the No. 89 name on the board, in No. 109.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Prysock pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
They read the board right and Kenyon Sadiq was the payoff at the 29th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Zion Young
By-the-book stuff, Zion Young at slot 40 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
No edge and no loss on Davison Igbinosun in pick 74; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 109th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A premium they did not need to pay, Rayshaun Benny a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Travis Burke
Travis Burke in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at pick No. 176 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
No drama and no debate, Jalen Stroman went about where he belonged in slot 210. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
