Thirty-one other rooms let Abdul Carter slide, and the Chiefs were the ones holding the card at No. 128. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.
If Coleman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 32 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ajani Cornelius in slot 69. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jonah Coleman at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Abdul Carter in the 128th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Keon Sabb at pick 160 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They did well to land Gentry Williams in No. 193, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
No drama and no debate, Thor Griffith went about where he belonged in the 224th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
