FutureD
The Chiefs bled value on every deal, hence the D. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chiefs did exactly that with Dominique Hampton in the 172nd overall pick.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. The Colson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 41 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They went early on Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 53, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64
Rnd2
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick 64 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67
Rnd3
Max Melton
They paid up for Max Melton at the 67th pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A quiet steal in slot 68: Junior Colson for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brenden Rice. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Good price on Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at slot 95, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: McKinnley Jackson in pick 103, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A reach for Johnny Wilson in No. 110; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120
Rnd4
Josh Newton
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 20: Josh Newton adds a cornerback while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick132
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at the 132nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
A conviction pick on Jalyx Hunt at pick 142 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at Round 5, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 171st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in slot 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick173
Rnd5
Kendall Milton
A big swing on Kendall Milton at No. 173, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
