Nobody else had R Mason Thomas anywhere near Round 4, Pick 31. The Chiefs did, by 70 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Grant at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 5 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyren Lacy well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Jay Higgins at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Charles Grant at pick No. 113 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
This one needs a full-page explanation: R Mason Thomas in the 132nd pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They jumped the gun on Mitchell Evans, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Kai Kroeger at No. 210 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
