You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chiefs took Trey Zuhn III at pick 131, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lawson. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 16
In pick 31 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 67
They took Jalen Royals at par in the 66th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
Cam Skattebo at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.22 · Pick 123 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 81
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at No. 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.30 · Pick 131 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 197
Trey Zuhn III in the 131st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Elijah Arroyo · TE · rank 188
Elijah Arroyo at Round 6, Pick 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
