When a board-topper like Keon Coleman slides to pick 64, you do not overthink it, and the Chiefs did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The cost of the Wingo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
The board fumbled Keon Coleman all the way to No. 64, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board had cheaper options than Mekhi Wingo at the 95th overall pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Good price on Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Walter Rouse in the 159th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The board had Dwight McGlothern higher than pick 173, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
