The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chiefs reached some 32 spots for Eric Watts, and value like that does not grow back. The final tally is a middling C-.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Edgerrin Cooper in the 42nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Ruke Orhorhoro is a better player than the 64th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Caelen Carson at slot 95 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They paid a round early for Roger Rosengarten in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Malik Mustapha in No. 158 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Eric Watts at No. 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
