Somebody in No. 193 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chiefs sat still while Riley Mahlman, the No. 124 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 3
In the 21st pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Jack Sawyer · DE-EDGE · rank 24
In the 32nd overall pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 57
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 58
They let Ajani Cornelius come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 31
They will replay Kenneth Grant at pick No. 85 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Dasan McCullough · LB · rank 93
Dasan McCullough at Round 3, Pick 32 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.11 · Pick 107 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 85
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at No. 107. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.32 · Pick 128 · Nic Anderson · WR · rank 79
Steal is underselling it; Nic Anderson at pick 128 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.32 · Pick 160 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 143
Bryson Nesbit slid further than he should have, and pick No. 160 is lovely value for the tight end. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.1 · Pick 193 · Riley Mahlman · OT · rank 124
The board fumbled Riley Mahlman all the way to pick 193, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
