Thirty-one other rooms let Logan Jones slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at the 169th pick. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kayden McDonald and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Kayden McDonald · DT · rank 19
In pick 28 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Jordyn Tyson · WR · rank 23
Nothing to complain about; Jordyn Tyson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
Nice patience on Chris Brazzell II, who had no business lasting to pick No. 40. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 18
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in the 62nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
Taking Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 74th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Devin Moore · CB · rank 92
Devin Moore slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Treydan Stukes adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
Elijah Sarratt at No. 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Joe Royer · TE · rank 127
The board fumbled Joe Royer all the way to Round 5, Pick 8, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Logan Jones · C · rank 93
Logan Jones in slot 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 146
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Isaiah World in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 190
A reach on Ephesians Prysock in pick 176; the board had better options right there. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.1 · Pick 182 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 176
Good price on Domani Jackson in pick No. 182, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 182
Zane Durant in No. 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.33 · Pick 214 · Seth McGowan · RB · rank 183
Seth McGowan at the 214th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Chase Roberts · WR · rank 213
Fair-plus on Chase Roberts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
