You build a draft on nights like this. Elijah Sarratt had no business being available in the Round 4 slot, and the Chiefs did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Thomas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. TreVeyon Henderson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In the end it comes back to Sonny Styles, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In No. 29 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R1.31 · Pick 31 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
In the 31st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kayden McDonald · DT · rank 20
They will replay Kayden McDonald at pick No. 40 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
A.J. Haulcy in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Mike Washington Jr. · RB · rank 75
Mike Washington Jr. in slot 74 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
No edge and no loss on Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
You do not let a wide receiver like Elijah Sarratt reach the 109th overall pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 159
They paid a round early for Beau Stephens in pick 148, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 178
They went early on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 169th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 184
They liked DJ Campbell enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 36. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 198
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Payton. The roster fit checks out.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Zavion Thomas · WR · rank 224
Zavion Thomas in pick No. 210 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
