The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dylan Fairchild, the Round 7 slot, roughly 200 picks past where he belonged.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Chiefs indulged a want in Barron while a need in wide receiver, tight end and other spots stayed open. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 32 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Wyatt Milum in slot 64 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in the 66th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jahdae Barron at cornerback with wide receiver, tight end and other spots open.
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 133 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Dylan Fairchild at pick 254 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
