FutureB
The Chiefs let Estime fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Audric Estime, pick 152, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Quinyon Mitchell and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 36 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44
Rnd2
Rome Odunze
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 44th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 72nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Max Melton
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Max Melton, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 6, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
Taking Patrick Paul in pick 111 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Audric Estime
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Audric Estime in slot 152, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
They took Nelson Ceaser at par in pick 159, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Somehow Jamari Thrash was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in slot 185 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
They robbed the room for Garret Greenfield here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
