Best value of the weekend goes to the Chiefs for Hill Jr.: B-. The Chiefs did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Anthony Hill Jr. fell into No. 74.
Reaching for Coogan left real value on the table behind him. The Ponds pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, quarterback and other spots.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick29
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
Good price on Olaivavega Ioane in slot 29, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with D'Angelo Ponds while clear needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick74
Rnd3
Anthony Hill Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 74, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A conviction pick on Bryce Lance at Round 4, Pick 9 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in pick 148 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Pat Coogan
Value said wait; Pat Coogan in No. 169 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd5
Louis Moore
They will replay Louis Moore at the 176th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick210
Rnd6
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at the 210th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
