Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs let Abney II fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keith Abney II, the No. 43 name on the board, stolen at slot 126. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Prysock reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Igbinosun pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and edge rusher.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In the 26th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 19
In pick No. 29 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
Dillon Thieneman slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 61
They let Keionte Scott come to them and pounced at No. 74. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Caleb Banks · DL · rank 41
Caleb Banks in Round 3, Pick 22 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Malachi Fields · WR · rank 73
Taking Malachi Fields in the 91st pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Antonio Williams · WR · rank 64
Somehow Antonio Williams was still sitting there in slot 109, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Emmett Johnson · RB · rank 104
They read the board right and Emmett Johnson was the payoff at pick 120. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 113
A surprising call. With quarterback and edge rusher still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Davison Igbinosun, a cornerback they were not short of.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Keith Abney II · CB · rank 43
A want over a need in pick 126: Keith Abney II adds a cornerback while quarterback and edge rusher keeps waiting.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
A slide stopped in pick No. 148, with DeMonte Capehart worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 190
Ephesians Prysock at the 169th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · Aamil Wagner · OT · rank 173
Fair-plus on Aamil Wagner, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.23 · Pick 204 · Tanner Koziol · TE · rank 164
Circle this one: Tanner Koziol at Round 6, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Chase Roberts · WR · rank 213
By-the-book stuff, Chase Roberts at No. 210 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
