FutureD-
The Chiefs lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. Some picks age like wine; Logan Lee at slot 172 will need to, sitting 38 spots clear of his grade.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
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
Pick36
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Tampa at the 50th pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A reach on Patrick Paul in the 57th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 1. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker is a better player than No. 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
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.
Pick100
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
The board had Dominick Puni higher than slot 100, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
A want over a need in the 132nd pick: Jaylin Simpson adds a cornerback while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They talked themselves into Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 159, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kendall Milton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kendall Milton this early at the 169th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They let Walter Rouse come to them and pounced at the 171st overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wiley. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210
Rnd6
Dominique Hampton
A wild overpay on Dominique Hampton in the 210th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
