You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chiefs took Ben Sinnott at No. 110, roughly 35 spots before his name belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Hardy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
Cooper Beebe in the 74th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
By-the-book stuff, Bucky Irving at the 90th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 95
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in slot 95, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 145
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in pick 110 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 142
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 155
A clean, defensible pick in the 158th pick with a little surplus value in Ty'Ron Hopper. It fills a real need, too.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 193
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Josh Proctor. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 204
Isaiah Williams at pick 188 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Erick All · TE · rank 221
They went early on Erick All in Round 6, Pick 35, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 248
No drama and no debate, Nathaniel Watson went about where he belonged in pick No. 241. The roster fit checks out.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 231
Somehow Daequan Hardy was still sitting there in slot 250, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
