The rest of the league had time to spare on Caedan Wallace; the Chiefs did not wait, grabbing him 35 spots ahead at pick No. 178.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Allen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
Adonai Mitchell at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in slot 36. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Dominick Puni slipping to Round 3, Pick 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in the 100th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Braelon Allen is a better player than the 119th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Dallin Holker at pick 137 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Jordan Jefferson in pick 159 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caedan Wallace this early at Round 6, Pick 3. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They went early on Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 226, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
