The funny thing is that he was almost completely complementary of it (even to the point of being inaccurate on the Chesson thing) and still only gave it an A.
He says that the Chiefs biggest need to get over the hump is a QB. He says that the only QB he would've taken in the 1st is Mahomes. We know for a fact that he HAD to get to 10 to get Mahomes or the Saints were taking him....and yet he devalues the pick because we had to pay a fair amount to move up?
It's 17 damn spots and we needed EXACTLY 17 spots; no more, no less. It was absolutely perfect and the amount paid to move up that many spots was a little less than I had expected. How can that be anything other than a perfect pick/trade given Walter's combination of needs and evaluation of the player?
He even liked the Kpassagnon and Hunt picks and still only gave them a B. Meanwhile the Jags took a back that's going to have a 4 year career and a tackle that can't play the left side using more draft capital than the Chiefs gave up to get Mahomes (we used 27 and next year's pick in the 20s. They used a 4 and 36 this year) and that gets them a blow job? Oh **** off, Walter.
Eh...whatev.
