FutureB-
The Chiefs robbed the room for McCormick. Final grade: C-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Mason McCormick, No. 222, roughly 76 picks past where he belonged.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
So much rides on Brian Thomas Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at slot 43 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick64
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
A tidy little value on Kingsley Suamataia in the 64th pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
They zigged when the board said zag, taking T.J. Tampa at cornerback with quarterback open.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
You do not let a running back like Jonathon Brooks reach pick No. 69 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Dorlus at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
A tidy bit of business in the 109th overall pick, where Gabriel Murphy graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Steal is underselling it; Brenden Rice at Round 4, Pick 14 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Davis at Round 4, Pick 32. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 137 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 153rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187
Rnd6
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick No. 187 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
They read the board right and Daijun Edwards was the payoff at slot 197. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222
Rnd7
Mason McCormick
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Mason McCormick in the 222nd overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236
Rnd7
Delmar Glaze
They will replay Delmar Glaze at slot 236 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
