Thirty-one other rooms let Andrew Mukuba slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at Round 5, Pick 30. Highway robbery.
If Coleman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
The trade work was a quiet net positive.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Tate Ratledge at slot 64 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They paid a round early for Ashton Gillotte in pick 67, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Coleman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
You do not let a cornerback like Davison Igbinosun reach pick No. 133 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Dorian Strong at the 255th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
