There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chiefs started one anyway for Kendall Milton, 36 picks ahead of schedule.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Haynes makes the weekend a net positive.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 34
Good price on Jordan Morgan in pick 39, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 61
They paid a round early for Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 52, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Austin Booker · DE-EDGE · rank 68
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Booker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 55
They read the board right and Christian Haynes was the payoff at slot 69. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 74
A slide stopped in pick No. 83, with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 102
Ben Sinnott in the 95th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · DJ James · CB · rank 93
DJ James at No. 99 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 120
They went early on Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 5, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 103
They did well to land Brandon Coleman in the 110th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 118
Hunter Nourzad slipping to slot 132 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 142
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 160
No drama and no debate, Cornelius Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 159. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 195
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ryan Flournoy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 245
Kendall Milton at the 209th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
