Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chiefs were there to profit. Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 19 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 74th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Prysock pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot.
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Dillon Thieneman at the 40th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Kenyon Sadiq in Round 3, Pick 10 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Germie Bernard in the 86th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They read the board right and Malachi Fields was the payoff at slot 89. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Somehow Max Klare was still sitting there in pick 110, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They took Domani Jackson at par in pick No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Ephesians Prysock at pick No. 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Aamil Wagner in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They went early on Chase Roberts in slot 204, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A premium they did not need to pay, Kaden Wetjen a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Good price on Thaddeus Dixon in the 226th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
They liked Nick Barrett enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 246. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They paid sticker price for Jack Kelly in the 257th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
