Kansas City Chiefs

Haulcy should have been long gone. The Chiefs pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how A.J. Haulcy got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at the 92nd overall pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Reaching for Proctor left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Kadyn Proctor · OT · rank 14
In pick No. 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
In pick 29 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · D'Angelo Ponds · CB · rank 48
They paid a round early for D'Angelo Ponds in the 40th pick, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
A.J. Haulcy at the 92nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 125
A reach for Caden Curry in Round 4, Pick 9; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 122
A reach on Bryce Lance in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Kaleb Proctor · DL · rank 168
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaleb Proctor well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.14 · Pick 154 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 154
Beau Stephens at slot 154 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 175
They took Kaleb Elarms-Orr at par in pick 169, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · J'Mari Taylor · RB · rank 187
J'Mari Taylor at the 176th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 180
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Campbell at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Aaron Graves · DT · rank 200
Aaron Graves slipping to pick No. 210 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
