The phones sank the Chiefs this weekend: D+. The Chiefs did not so much draft Dominique Hampton as overpay for him, 61 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Put together, it is a D+.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A quiet steal in pick No. 37: Tyler Guyton for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Tampa. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick53
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick64
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at pick 64, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in Round 3, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A conviction pick on Austin Booker at slot 69 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in the 95th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 103 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They went early on Cedric Gray in pick No. 105, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at the 110th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They paid a round early for Mohamed Kamara in slot 120, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Kitan Oladapo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kitan Oladapo. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dillon Johnson
A reach for Dillon Johnson in pick 159; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kendall Milton
Value said wait; Kendall Milton in Round 5, Pick 35 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in No. 172 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in Round 5, Pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
