The rest of the league will want that one back. Terrance Ferguson tumbling to the Chiefs in No. 255 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Royals at the 68th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A quiet steal in slot 96: Barrett Carter for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Tommi Hill is a better player than pick 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 255, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
