Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chiefs sat still while Collin Oliver, the No. 108 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
McCoy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick-by-Pick
Good price on Emery Jones in the 40th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Value with a capital V on Tre Harris in slot 56, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Walter Nolen in Round 3, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
The board fumbled Jabbar Muhammad all the way to pick No. 72, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A straight-up fair deal on Shemar Turner at the 88th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Dani Dennis-Sutton in pick 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Earnest Greene III in No. 102 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ajani Cornelius reach pick No. 117 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in No. 122, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Bru McCoy at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They will replay Jake Briningstool at the 154th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They barely believed it either: Roman Hemby still on the board at the 193rd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They robbed the room for Xavier Truss here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Taking Collin Oliver in slot 218 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
