The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chiefs were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The Chiefs indulged a want in Hart while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Trice to cover a lot of smaller sins.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 32 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Roman Wilson at pick No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
The board had Bralen Trice higher than the 64th pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cam Hart adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
They took Theo Johnson at par in No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A tidy little value on Malik Mustapha in Round 5, Pick 22, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
The board had cheaper options than Caedan Wallace at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
