Grand theft in pick No. 232: the Chiefs steal Ford and grade out a C-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Chiefs did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ford. If Sinnott pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Hit on Amarius Mims and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims is a better player than pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 64th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
They robbed the room for Xavier Worthy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 91st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Max Melton
Circle this one: Max Melton at Round 3, Pick 32 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They read the board right and Gabriel Murphy was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A reach for Maason Smith in the 103rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in slot 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Fair-plus on Christian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
A quiet steal in pick No. 159: Nehemiah Pritchett for less than the market said. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick169
Rnd5
Daijun Edwards
They jumped the gun on Daijun Edwards, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
A linebacker of that caliber at the 232nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
