Nobody had Logan Brown this high, and it is not close. The Chiefs reached 94 spots to get him at pick 63. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

Getting Loveland where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on T.J. Sanders that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 29
In the 31st overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 157
Logan Brown at the 63rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 48
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at pick No. 68 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 187
Value said wait; Emery Jones Jr. in Round 3, Pick 31 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.31 · Pick 132 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 139
A straight-up fair deal on Rylie Mills at slot 132, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.41 · Pick 255 · Duce Chestnut · S · rank 266
A reach for Duce Chestnut in pick 255; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
