The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Edgerrin Cooper, slot 95, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Chiefs clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick-by-Pick
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Worthy in the 64th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 95 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They read the board right and Theo Johnson was the payoff at pick No. 132. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Taking Kalen King in Round 5, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
You do not let a wide receiver like Luke McCaffrey reach pick 173 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
